JOE BIDEN CLIMATE GOALS REMAIN ELUSIVE AS SPENDING BILL STALLS

 * Joe Biden climate goals remain elusive as spending bill stalls
 * zero comment



President Joe Biden faces a steep path to achieve his ambitious goal of slashing
planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, amid legislative
gridlock that has stalled a $2 trillion package of social and environmental
initiatives.

Biden’s Build Back Better plan, which contains $550 billion in spending and tax
credits aimed at promoting clean energy, was sidetracked by Democratic Sen. Joe
Manchin of West Virginia, who said just before Christmas that he could not
support the legislation as written.

Joe Biden climate goals remain elusive As spending bill stalls



Democrats insist they are moving forward on the sweeping package, which also
would bolster family services, health care and other programs. Manchin signaled
in recent days that climate-related provisions were unlikely to be a
deal-breaker, but the bill has taken a back seat to voting rights legislation
and other Democratic priorities.

Even without the legislation, Biden can pursue his climate agenda through rules
and regulations. But those can be undone by subsequent presidents, as
demonstrated by Biden reversing Trump administration rules that rolled back
protections put into place under Barack Obama.



Experts cite Biden’s executive authority to regulate tailpipe emissions from
cars and trucks, as well as restrict emissions from power plants and other
industrial sources, and the federal government’s vast power to approve renewable
energy projects on federal lands and waters.

Indeed, the Environmental Protection Agency announced new tailpipe rules for
cars and trucks the day after Manchin’s bombshell announcement Dec. 19. The next
day, the Interior Department announced approval of two large-scale solar
projects in California and moved to open up public lands in other Western states
to solar development as part of the administration’s efforts to counter climate
change by shifting from fossil fuels.



The administration also has access to tens of billions of dollars under the
bipartisan infrastructure law approved in November, including $7.5 billion to
create a national network of electric vehicle chargers; $5 billion to deliver
thousands of electric school buses nationwide; and $65 billion to upgrade the
power grid to reduce outages and facilitate expansion of renewable energy such
as wind and solar power.

“I think the U.S. has a lot of tools and a lot of options to make gains on
climate in the next decade,” said John Larsen, an energy systems expert and
partner at the Rhodium Group, an independent research firm.



“Build Back Better is helpful” to meet Biden’s goals, “but if you don’t have
Build Back Better, that doesn’t mean nothing happens,” Larsen said. “It just
makes the task ahead a bit more challenging.”



Larsen is co-author of a Rhodium Group study last fall that found that passage
of the Build Back Better package, along with the bipartisan infrastructure law
and regulations by key federal agencies and states, could cut U.S. greenhouse
gas emissions by 45 percent to 51 percent below 2005 levels in 2030.



The Biden bill offers incentives for electric car purchases, development of
technology to capture and store carbon emissions, and construction of wind and
solar farms, among other provisions.

Global leaders made progress at a November climate summit in Scotland, “but
there needs to be much more” action taken, said Penn State climate scientist
Michael Mann. “And for the U.S. to be able to do its part, we need the climate
provisions of Build Back Better to pass Congress as soon as possible.”



Jesse Jenkins, an energy systems engineer at Princeton University who has led an
effort to model the Build Back Better bill’s effect on U.S. emissions, said
there is “a yawning gap” between where U.S. emissions are today “and where we
need to be to hit President Biden’s climate targets.”

Such a gap “is unlikely to be bridged by executive action or state policy
alone,” Jenkins said in an email. The Princeton model estimates that the United
States will fall 1.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent short of Biden’s
2030 climate commitment without the Build Back Better law.

Carbon dioxide equivalent is a standard measurement for the range of so-called
greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, that are
generated from the burning of coal and petroleum and from other industrial uses
and agriculture, and trap heat in the atmosphere.



Still, Jenkins remains optimistic about U.S. climate action.



“I do not accept the premise that the Build Back Better package is dead,” he
wrote, adding that he thinks “there is still a very good chance that Congress
passes the climate provisions and some combination of social policies” being
pushed by Democrats.

“The consequences of failure are untenable, and the climate clock only moves in
one direction,” Jenkins said.



Sen. Tina Smith, D-Minnesota, said she’s confident Biden and his administration
will make good use of their current regulatory authority, as well as billions of
dollars in new spending in the bipartisan infrastructure law. But on their own,
those tools are not enough to meet Biden’s climate goals, she said. Rules
imposed by one administration can be undone by the next, as Biden and former
President Donald Trump have both demonstrated repeatedly.

Trump withdrew the U.S. from the global Paris climate accord and rolled back
dozens of regulations imposed by his Democratic predecessor, Obama. Biden, in
turn, has moved to reverse Trump on a range of actions, from rejoining the Paris
agreement to canceling the Keystone XL oil pipeline and pausing new oil and gas
leasing on federal lands and waters.



Biden has elevated the issue of climate change across the U.S. government,
signing an executive order to make the government carbon-neutral by 2050 and
converting to an all-electric fleet of cars and trucks by 2035.



Even so, Biden’s efforts can only go so far without an assist from Congress.



“Regulatory authority is no substitute for congressional action,” Smith said.
“That’s why it’s so important that we pass the strongest bill possible, and
that’s what we’re focusing on doing.”

Enacting clean-energy investments in the Build Back Better Act would cut U.S.
greenhouse gas emissions by a cumulative 5 billion tons of carbon dioxide
equivalent by 2030, Jenkins said, an amount that would “put the U.S. within easy
reach” of Biden’s commitment to cut emissions to half of 2005 levels by 2030.

Manchin, who chairs the Senate Energy Committee and whose state’s economy relies
heavily on energy production, suggested he could back many of the climate
provisions in the bill, including some tax credits. He also wants to include
money to promote nuclear power and capture emissions from industrial facilities
that pump out greenhouse gases.

“I think the climate thing is one that we probably can come to an agreement on
much easier than anything else,” Manchin told reporters on Tuesday.

Democrats would need all their votes in the 50-50 Senate to advance the measure
over unanimous Republican opposition.
