President Biden vowed to take “strong executive action” amid the Senate Democrats’ failure to reach a compromise on including climate and energy provisions in their party-line spending bill.
Mr. Biden said Friday if the Senate “will not move to tackle the climate crisis” and back clean energy programs through legislation, he would “meet this moment” with the unilateral power of the presidency.
“I will not back down: the opportunity to create jobs and build a clean energy future is too important to relent,” Mr. Biden said.
