“I see a future where we save the planet from the climate crisis,” Mr. Biden said to applause as he closed out his address to a joint session of Congress.
The president repeated a familiar theme: that tackling climate change brings economic benefits and job gains.
The only new proposal by the president was connected to his American Climate Corps, a national service program that trains 20,000 young adults for careers in clean energy and conservation.
The president underscored his goal of cutting the country’s greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, calling it “the most significant action on climate ever in the history of the world.”
Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington, the chair of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, accused the president of proposing “radical rush-to-green” policies.
But Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez, the president of NextGen America, which focuses on voters under 35, said Mr. Biden had “made clear in his speech that he is listening to America’s young people and that he is willing to work with us on the issues that matter most to us.” She said activists were committed to “holding the Biden administration to their promises made tonight, as well as pushing for more.”
