On Tuesday, the Biden administration released a plan to guide the U.S.
to eliminate carbon emissions from the transportation sector, the
leading emitter of U.S. greenhouse gasses warming the planet, by 2050.
That blueprint includes spending billions of public dollars to expand
the use of electric vehicles and low-carbon fuels. POLITICO’s Catherine
Morehouse breaks down the details of the administration’s plan and its
challenges. Plus, President Joe Biden appointed Elizabeth Klein to lead
the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, which has drawn criticism from
Republicans and some Democrats for its lack of oil lease sales.
