The Biden climate dictatorship

 Washington Examiner:

Republican Rep. Garret Graves of Louisiana is taking exception to climate envoy John Kerry’s claim that the White House can lean on executive orders to achieve the Biden administration’s aggressive new target of cutting U.S. greenhouse emissions in half by 2030.

“This is one of the most financially impactful decisions of any administration in recent history, and they are bragging we will do this unilaterally without Congress,” Graves told the Washington Examiner in an interview. “That is a dictatorship.”

BIDEN CAN FULFILL 'A LOT' OF CLIMATE PLEDGE THROUGH EXECUTIVE ORDERS, KERRY SAYS

Graves, the top Republican on the House Select Committee on Climate Crisis, recently introduced legislation with other GOP leaders that would force the Biden administration to report to Congress before it submitted to the United Nations a new U.S. target to reduce emissions under the Paris Agreement. But the bill stands no chance of making it through the Democratic Congress.

President Joe Biden, marking a two-day climate summit of global leaders this week, announced and submitted to the U.N. a U.S. commitment to cut its economy-wide emissions 50% to 52% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels.

The nonbinding pledge, one of the most aggressive in the world, would require fundamentally transforming America’s fossil fuel-based economy and could particularly challenge an oil and gas-producing state such as Louisiana.

Owing to that challenge, the administration is not yet providing a detailed road map for how it plans to reduce emissions from each economic sector to achieve its goal.

Graves called that decision “deceptive and dishonest.”

“It’s like somebody going out there and saying, 'I am going to buy a house without any indication of whether I have a job, assets, or any income,'” Graves said. “That’s a pretty bold statement of faith you are asking us to operate on.”

Graves’s bill would force Biden to provide a plan to Congress for the U.S. to meet its new emissions target, including the types of new regulations or legislation it would take to achieve it.

“The main thrust of our bill is giving transparency to the American public about how will it hit the targets and allocate the pain to the energy economy,” Graves said.

This is more evidence of the bad faith of Biden and his administration as they seek to drive up the cost of transportation and kill a vibrant industry.  They will destroy the US economy in the process and they should be held accountable for their ideas.
