President Biden has appointed John Podesta, a veteran of past Democratic administrations, to implement the climate part of the Inflation Reduction Act.
President Biden on Friday brought back John Podesta, a behind-the-scenes veteran at getting things done on climate in past Democratic administrations, to put into place an ambitious U.S. climate program newly revived by $375 billion from Congress.landmark clean-energy and climate spending under the huge healthcare and climate bill passed by Congress in August.
A surprise administration-backed deal struck last month with two Democratic holdout senators salvaged a pared-down version of Biden’s domestic spending program. That includes funding for the biggest U.S. effort ever at slowing down the fossil-fuel-driven warming of the Earth. Podesta’s jobs for Democratic presidents include acting chief of staff for Clinton and helping push through some early landmark climate efforts by President Obama. The Trump administration reversed Obama’s legacy efforts to cut climate-damaging fossil fuel emissions and appointed conservative judges who have since blocked some key climate initiatives.
The legislation that passed last month, called the Inflation Reduction Act, is meant to infuse nearly $375 billion over the decade in climate-change-fighting strategies that Democrats believe could put the country on a path to cut greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2030.
