Progressive Caucus Urges Biden to Declare Climate Emergency, Stop New Fossil Fuel Extraction, Turbocharge Renewables

WASHINGTON— The Congressional Progressive Caucus called on President Biden today to declare a climate emergency, ban federal fossil fuel leasing and extraction, and build distributed renewable energy systems under the Defense Production Act.

The lawmakers also urged Biden to issue executive orders to advance environmental justice and make clean air and water accessible for all.

“There’s no question that we’re in a climate emergency. The caucus is absolutely right that President Biden should declare it so we can build the energy security that only renewable energy can bring,” said Jean Su, director of the Center for Biological Diversity’s energy justice program. “Biden can act quickly, without Congress and without Joe Manchin, to stop oil and gas drilling on public lands and unlock his emergency powers to end the era of deadly fossil fuels. He must answer the caucus’s call and turbocharge the renewable energy transition with the Defense Production Act.”

“Progressive”: another word that’s been bastardized by the Left. There is absolutely nothing about the Left that is progressive in any way. Even the term “liberal” falls far short of hitting the mark.

Some say it’s Putin who’s propping up these climate change fanatics. I think it deserves a look into.
