President Joe Biden has drawn a fierce backlash to the"environmental justice" executive order he signed last week.
The order, which Biden signed Friday, directs federal agencies to prioritize issues of environmental justice, the latest in a series of steps from the administration as it seeks to deliver on its goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. "Under this order, environmental justice will become the responsibility of every single federal agency," Biden said Friday during a speech in the White House Rose Garden."Environmental Justice will be the mission of the entire government, woven directly into how we work with state, local, tribal, and territorial governments."
"During this period of historic inflation, high gas prices, and burdensome energy costs, it is time to recommit to unleashing American domestic energy reserves, not imply that traditional energy is racist," Ortiz said.
