"SOTU: What Biden Said — And Didn’t Say — On Climate" [1]

"President Biden used his first State of the Union address to reset his administration after a year of inflation and crises at home and abroad that has left him with nearly record-low approval ratings.

But Biden did little to restart his stalled climate agenda. He spoke only briefly about climate change — talking about it roughly as much as diabetes — leaving some Democrats puzzled over Biden’s path forward on what he calls an “existential threat.”

One hint Biden offered in his speech: He argued his climate plan would leave the average family with $500 in savings, grouping it with his push to combat inflation."

Adam Aton and Scott Waldman report for E&E News March 2, 2022. [2]
