The Controversial Impact of Biden's Climate Policies on Jobs and Coalitions

Environmental activists are opposing President Biden's focus on carbon capture, arguing that it would give industry political cover to keep polluting instead of reducing emissions. They are concerned that the sheer volume of funding for carbon capture implies the administration is prepared to override environmental objections. The opposition is threatening to delay the full rollout of billions of dollars in new federal spending on carbon capture, and it's showing the difficulties the Biden administration faces in trying to prioritize both industrial carbon removal and disadvantaged communities.
