Why Biden’s attempt to ditch fossil fuels is politically risky

President Joe Biden’s latest attempt to cut the nation’s climate pollution could come with serious political consequences. EPA is expected to release two draft rules that target the country’s second-largest source of greenhouse gases: the electric power sector. POLITICO’s Zack Colman breaks down why these rules are critical to the president’s climate agenda and how they could influence messaging efforts by Democrats and Republicans ahead of the 2024 elections. Plus, House Republicans passed their plan to raise the debt ceiling on Wednesday, which included repealing several green energy tax incentives established under Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act.    Zack Colman covers climate change for POLITICO.  Josh Siegel is an energy reporter for POLITICO.  Nirmal Mulaikal is a POLITICO audio host-producer.
