Joe Biden speaking with supporters at a community event at Sun City MacDonald Ranch in Henderson, Nevada on Feb. 14, 2020.

President Biden is weighing possible executive action on climate change, including an emergency declaration that we are in a climate disaster. This could allow the use of federal funding to clean-energy projects and push forth the Green New Deal, an ambitious — and likely costly — plan to wean the U.S. from fossil fuels and drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions.
