President Biden’s Vital Climate Leadership “Delivered Real, Positive Benefits for Everyone”

“Joe Biden has taken on the climate crisis more than any other president in U.S. history. He called it ‘a blinking code red for humanity,’ and his actions have matched his rhetoric. I marvel at just how many of his promises were kept, delivering real, positive benefits for everyone, including the most significant climate law ever passed, the Inflation Reduction Act. 

“President Biden understands that turning around climate change is about upholding our right to live our lives as fully as possible. The Biden-Harris administration is using all the tools to grow the economy and clean up life-threatening pollution and waste from the burning of fossil fuels, making sure the water we drink doesn’t have forever chemicals, the school buses our kids ride on don’t hurt their lungs, and the vehicles we drive during the day don’t make the heat waves forcing our utility bills to rise even hotter.  

“President Biden’s enduring leadership is already saving people money on their energy bills and family cars thanks to rebates and tax credits and creating hundreds of thousands of new, good-paying clean energy and manufacturing jobs. The future’s only beginning. And the communities most affected by pollution are receiving long-overdue funding for clean water and clean air, while companies are making unprecedented investments in America’s clean energy economy. 

“The Biden-Harris administration’s actions will help protect our families and our children’s families from future climate impacts — and the huge costs that will come with them. 

“I am grateful for everything President Biden has done and understand the decision he’s made. He is a good man who wants to see the U.S. thrive. He has always sought to embody the democratic ideal of working together to accomplish great things. Let’s continue to move climate solutions forward.”
