“Climate Change Regulatory Actions and Initiatives.” EPA, Environmental Protection Agency, 19 Dec. 2022, https://www.epa.gov/climate-change/climate-change-regulatory-actions-and-initiatives.
This article speaks about president Biden’s plans when it comes to climate change in the United States. He plans to do this through setting new regulations consisting of empowering workers and businesses to drive our way to a cleaner country. Legislation is being made to help with some of the largest issues such as transportation and oil/natural gas. The article is split up into sections consisting with solutions and propositions in place to help specific parts of the issue. Such as Oil and natural gas, transportation, power plants and more.
This article is related to environmental science because it speaks about environmentally related topics in the United States such as climate change. The article is related to what we are learning in class at the moment about climate change. My initial reaction to the article was supporting it because I agree that transportation and oil, natural gas are our largest producers of greenhouse emissions. It is important for the United States to figure out possible solutions for these problems.
Nils- Biden is the first president to get anything major regarding climate change into motion, which is great. Did the article mention anything specific? What kind of legislation around transportation is in the pipeline? What would you recommend? I wonder if there is anything related to carbon sequestration through FALU (UC Steve’s topic).
Hope following this topic kept you interested. It’s all happening in real time.
Thanks for the comment. The article only mentions that Biden is pushing people to go cleaner by burning less fossil fuels through driving less.
