President Joe Biden is looking to harness the power of the federal government to fight climate change by requiring federal agencies to buy electric vehicles, modernizing federal buildings and changing how the government buys electricity. Biden signed an executive order Wednesday that aims to use the federal government’s buying power to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 65 percent by 2030. The directive would put the government on a path to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Learn more about the order at the link in our bio.
