Biden to Declare Climate Emergency? - In the Tank LIVE, ep355
The Heartland Institute's Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and S.T. Karnick talk about the growing possibility that President Biden will officially declare a "climate emergency," seizing broad powers to shove the Green New Deal down our throats. Biden's climate speech in Massachusetts on Wednesday was a mess, and didn't go that far, but what if he does? The In The Tank crew discuss on episode #355 of the podcast.
We also cover the one-year anniversary of Biden assuring America that rising inflation was only "temporary," and how Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is glad gas prices are high, all the better to get people into electric vehicles. Speaking of those, a real-world test of an electric Ford F-150 towing a trailer went poorly ... as anyone with a brain would have suspected.

Such a move could give President Joe Biden broad executive authority to redirect funds for clean energy projects or restrict offshore oil drilling. The president could even use the power to curtail the movement of fossil fuels on pipelines, trains and ships.
Among those who have lobbied the White House in recent days to invoke the emergency authority, which was used by former President Donald Trump to begin construction of a border wall, was Senator Ed Markey a Democrat of Massachusetts, an author of the Green New Deal.
