Shortly after canceling the Keystone XL pipeline project, President Biden has vowed to create over one million jobs through his green plans.
As the president suggested, green initiatives will become a norm, whereas he promised his administration will create over one million jobs in the auto industry by making climate change the nation’s top security priority.
While the oil and gas industry is facing a decline due to Biden’s environmentally-friendly policies, the president promised not to forget those who have lost jobs amid the shift to a greener future.
“We’re never going to forget the men and women who dug the coal and built the nation. We’re going to do right by them, make sure they have opportunities to keep building the nation and their own communities and getting paid well,” he vowed.
Speaking from the State Dining Room as he signed an executive order on climate change on Wednesday, Biden touted his plans by suggesting that a climate day is also a jobs day.
“Today is climate day at the White House, which means today is jobs day at the White House. It’s a future of enormous hope and opportunity,” he said.
“When I think of climate change, when I think of the answers to it – I think of jobs.”
As Biden also suggested, his administration’s $2 trillion plan to counter climate change will result in over one million auto industry jobs.
Among other green directives, Biden has ordered the Interior Department to stop new gas and oil leases on federal land. He also directed the government to conserve 30% of federal water and land by 2030. In addition, by that same year, offshore wind power should be doubled.
