The Biden-Harris Administration is Hitting the Ground Running on Climate Change: Here Are Four Ways They Can Really Hit Their Stride
Summary
The Clean Air Task Force proposes that the Biden-Harris Administration should increase domestic carbon reduction commitments to reach net-zero by mid-century, fully utilize Department of Energy funding for advanced technologies, implement a 24-7 clean electricity procurement strategy for federal facilities, and establish rigorous EPA regulations for power plants and methane emissions.
Key insights
- The Biden-Harris Administration should establish a path to net-zero emissions by mid-century and set a more ambitious 2030 decarbonization target to ensure international leadership and move beyond symbolism.
- The administration can leverage the Department of Energy by unlocking Loan Program authorities and $40 billion in funding, as well as spending funds at the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Office to support clean hydrogen, supercritical geothermal, advanced nuclear, and carbon capture and storage.
