Biden wants to show the U.N. climate conference in Scotland that the U.S. is back in the fight against climate change. But continued haggling in Congress over legislation to advance his climate goals threatens to undermine that message on the world stage
Biden leaves for Europe on Thursday for a G20 meeting in Rome followed by a gathering of world leaders in Glasgow aimed at saving the planet from the devastation wreaked by rising temperatures.
As of Wednesday evening, Biden's fellow Democrats had still not reached an agreement, forcing him to leave Washington without a deal in hand. One of the bills is expected to expand tax credits for certain clean power industries such as wind and solar and could include grants and loans for farmers to shift to clean energy. But a proposed carbon tax and a carbon border tax adjustment that would add costs to imports of goods such as concrete and steel are likely out.
"If there is no agreement and we go all the way through without an agreement, I think that's really problematic for U.S. credibility," said John Podesta, a former climate adviser to President Barack Obama. "Whether there is a deal this week or whether the negotiations continue, there will be a lot of energy and enthusiasm for the effort the president is undertaking right now to make bold, far-reaching investments that will deliver on his commitments," U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters on Tuesday.U.S.
