President Joe Biden’s ambitious climate plan to halve the US emissions by 2030 may not have the support from Congress it needs “to match the aspiration” of what it is trying to achieve, according to US Studies Centre CEO Simon Jackman.
“To reach the ambition he even laid out for the 2030 target he needs Congress to act, I don’t know if the appetite is there in Congress to match the aspiration he talked about in the global climate summit,” he told Sky News. “Something is going to happen, I think there’s a lot of money there particularly that electric vehicle spend, that’s a lot money going to almost every congressional district in the country, you’ll get few votes against that.

Victoria match Biden administration emissions target but ‘at what cost’: Paul Murray | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says Victoria has decided to “match the Biden administration” and cut emissions by 50 per cent by 2030, but the transition is never going to be effortless and costless.\n\nThe acting Victorian Premier James Merlino announced the state will cut its emissions by 50 per cent by 2030 on its way to net zero emission by 2050.\n\nMr Murray said the government “can’t pretend” transitioning from the current power grid is “effortless, is costless”.\n\n“As Victoria makes its way towards more renewables, they will have greater reliability on things like wind farms, which will be set up in regional Victoria.\n\n“Once the wind farms are making the electricity it then needs to be transported back into Melbourne, which of course is through power lines”.\n\nLocals have expressed outrage over plans for energy company AusNet to a large network of power lines over prime agricultural land.\n\n“It’s all good to have these big targets … but at what cost,” Mr Murray said.\n Dickhead Dan - thought 💭 he’s disappearing No one cares what Paul 'fatberg' Murray says. Not very insightful or realistic of Murray to summise that any sort of transition might be either effortless or costless.
