In one of his first acts in office, President JoeBiden signed an executive order for a 'whole of government' approach to combating climate change, drawing in not just the EPA but a host of federal entities.
President Joe Biden promised the most ambitious green agenda ever, ending fossil fuels, pushing renewables, and forcing business to toe the line. As Earth Day 2022 arrives, the Washington Examiner offers alternative coverage in light of record energy prices and widespread criticism of the administration's incoherent policy approach.
Environmental Protection Agency: Last November, the EPA proposed new, tougher rules to curb emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. The EPA also announced in March that it is proposing new regulations to limit downwind smog pollution from electricity generating stations and other industrial facilities under the Clean Air Act's"good neighbor" provision. The proposal targets emissions of nitrogen oxides in particular and would subject additional power plants and"non-electric generating units," or industrial facilities such as cement manufacturers, to tighter emissions standards.
Environmental groups praised the new standards, saying they would help to slow climate change from the top-emitting transportation sector. The department issued a final rule in January to replace Trump-era changes that had established new “normal cycle” product classes for residential washers and dryers, meant to allow for dishwashers and clothes dryers with shorter cycle times.
