President Joe Biden speaks about climate change and clean energy at Brayton Power Station, July 20, 2022, in Somerset, Mass.
Executive actions announced Wednesday will bolster the domestic offshore wind industry in the Gulf of Mexico and Southeast, as well as spend $2.3 billion to help communities cope with soaring temperatures through programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Health and Human Services and other agencies.
Biden said Wednesday the option remains under consideration. “I’m running the traps on the totality of the authority I have,” he told reporters after returning to Washington. “Unless Congress acts in the meantime, I can do more’' on climate, he said. “Because not enough is being done now.’’ Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., who attended Wednesday’s event, said he was “confident that the president is ultimately ready to do whatever it takes in order to deal with this crisis.”Environmental groups were less hopeful. “The world’s burning up from California to Croatia, and right now Biden’s fighting fire with the trickle from a garden hose,” said Jean Su, energy justice program director at the Center for Biological Diversity.
Some legal scholars said an emergency order on climate could face a similar fate. The Supreme Court last month limited the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants that contribute to global warming.
It's a emergency..only because of the midterms.. otherwise... bottom drawer crap..next up hand out blankets and soup for all the homeless living on the streets... look what we did..
Hey Joe how's your Cancer coming along!

This is also a President who said today that he has cancer…..and eyebrows weren’t even raised because everyone knows he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Everyone can thank Republican Senator Joe Manchin for the destruction of our planet.
You spelt authoritarian wrong.
