Will he start by limiting his own use of fossil fuels? How about the same for all his appointees? No? Just you? Huh
Biden says he will act on climate change after Manchin opposes legislation
President Joe Biden on Friday said he will move forward with his own efforts to combat climate change and curb greenhouse gas emissions, a day after Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., told Democratic leadership that he won’t support the climate provisions in the reconciliation bill.
The comments by Manchin, a key centrist who holds the swing vote in the 50-50 Senate, could potentially sink months of negotiations in Washington over the sweeping policy package and end hopes of Congress passing any major climate change legislation this summer.
“If the Senate will not move to tackle the climate crisis and strengthen our domestic clean energy industry, I will take strong executive action to meet this moment,” Biden said in a statement.
The president did not mention specific climate and clean energy policies but said his actions will create jobs, improve energy security, bolster domestic manufacturing and supply chains and protect the economy from future oil and gas price hikes.
“I will not back down: The opportunity to create jobs and build a clean energy future is too important to relent,” the president said. Biden also urged lawmakers to act quickly to pass other portions of the package that the senator does support.
Yeah, it was a press statement, not Joe actually speaking, because, that doesn’t ever seem to go well in his feeble mind. And, he has no idea what to do, and the minute he does it the lawsuits will fly. He has little authority to do the big things he wants to do, especially in light of the recent SCOTUS decisions.
Biden must now depend on imposing executive actions to address climate change, which can be overturned by future administrations. Potential executive actions include curbing oil and gas drilling on federal lands and imposing new Environmental Protection Agency regulations on power plant emissions.
Lawsuit time! But, while they pend the courts, gas prices will skyrocket, causing food to skyrocket. Happy days!
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., argued that the administration could impose a carbon border tariff on imports from countries with relatively worse greenhouse emissions, as well as require carbon capture from all major emitters and create stronger emissions controls on cars, lightweight trucks and heavy-duty vehicles.
This is the job of the Legislative Branch, and, if they cannot put together a piece of legislation that can pass, well, they it shouldn’t be implemented. Really, though, Congress-critters do not want to do their job. Nor do they want to practice what they espouse.
They’re doing this to you on purpose. The pain is the point. https://t.co/LdkdxHg5VR

Mx Teach: Will he (President Biden) start by limiting his own use of fossil fuels?
If President Biden gives up all his use of fossil fuels will Mx Teach? LOL. Our bet is that Mx Teach will move the goalposts and open another fine whine!
Transportation Secretary Buttigieg did not brag about gas prices going up in the video supplied.
It makes no rational sense that President Biden caused global gasoline inflation to enable the sale of EVs.
You must have been firing away from the target to miss it by that much.
Teach isn’t the one advocating restricting fossil fuel use to the nobility.
LOL.
Ivana died from blunt force trauma. Her adulterous ex- announced her passing along with a fund-raising request. Depositions by the ex-guy and his children in the NY fraud case have been postponed.
Dearest Elwood:
Perhaps you will agree that Biden will use no more energy than Teach.
“Ivana died from blunt force trauma.” A re you suggesting she was Arkancided? I thought she fell down the steps. Old people do that. But you seem to think she was murdered.
“Brandon” told the ex-guy to shut up on national television, then took his job, his house and his twitter account.
LOL indeed. Brandon is a child molester who told the Ex President to shut up? When did that happen? Then he STOLE his job, stole the People’s House and arrested patriots who went to the Capitol to protest and his twitter account was a pure sign of tyranny through censorship which was part of stealing the election.
Heil Brandon, the first illegitimate fascist leader of the once free American people. Show trials, illegal imprisonments, property forfeiture and censorship. All your Nazi bullshit wrapped into one senile pedophile. And that fag perv goes LOL. He thinks it’s funny.
Sarah is posting more often than Jeff now, makes more sense and is less offensive. She may be trying to take his job here.

Yep, Brandon has a pen and a phone – not that he knows how to use either one.
What he (among many others) needs is a civics course.
