Biden considers invoking emergency powers to enact climate alarmist agenda: Report
President Joe Biden is reportedly considering declaring a national climate emergency as soon as this week to activate powers that would let him regulate fossil fuels without congressional authorization, according to the Washington Post.“The president made clear that if the Senate doesn’t act to tackle the climate crisis and strengthen our domestic clean energy industry, he will,” a White House official told the Post. “We are considering all options and no decision has been made.”
“This is an important moment. There is probably nothing more important for our nation and our world than for the United States to drive a bold, energetic transition in its energy economy from fossil fuels to renewable energy,” Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) told reporters on Monday.
Merkley and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) urged the president to take executive actions, saying that such a move would "unchain" Biden from waiting for Congress to pass legislation.
