WASHINGTON - U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration has started discussions with the utility and automobile sectors about reducing greenhouse gas emissions, White House domestic climate change adviser Gina McCarthy told Reuters.
The talks are part of a broad effort by the Biden administration that McCarthy will spearhead to engage every federal agency to decarbonize the U.S. power sector by 2035 and the whole economy by 2050.
McCarthy’s first major task will be to come up with a 2030 emission reduction target under the Paris climate agreement before Biden convenes world leaders for a climate summit on April 22.
“We’re already having conversations with the utility world and we’re having conversations with the car companies,” McCarthy said in an interview.
“The car companies understand now that the future for them is electric vehicles ... so we’re going to be sort of working to make sure that we move forward with some kind of an agreement on that and a strategy to get us out of the gate fast.”
She met virtually with the board of the Edison Electric Institute, the main utility lobby, which discussed its “support for recent energy-related executive orders,” a spokesman for the group told Reuters.
McCarthy will chair a task force composed of the heads of all Cabinet agencies to see what measures can be taken through regulation, budget appropriation and legislation to combat climate change, she said.

IF this madness were to continue for long it would be ruinous. Short term there will be helicopter money and economic activity.
I expect this to push the stock market up for a while...especially in certain areas that will take advantage of the insanity.
EPA Nominee Gina McCarthy Has A History Of Misleading Congress
SSDD.
He(actually his handlers) will make an offer they can’t refuse.
What is that thing?
“Nice little auto company you have there. It would be a shame if anything were to happen to it.”
In the spirit of Nancy Pelosi, he needed to pass his EO’s first before finding out what’s in them. Now he’s trying to find out what’s in them.
Spot on CCG. These are threatening if-you-know-whats-good-for you, arm twisting sit-downs, just like the mafioso.

Dems like Pelosi, know a thing or two about the mafia.
The Biden Recession is about to start.
We will run out of rare earth metals soon. The chemicals leaching into the earth from these wasteful batteries will be a disaster.
Coal and gas need to remain king. Add in some nuclear power and we would be 100% fine with cheap, efficient, and very clean energy.
“Nice car company you got there. Be a shame if something happened to it…”
Great minds - I gotta remember to scroll all the way down.
“...every federal agency to decarbonize the U.S. power sector by 2035 and the whole economy by 2050.”
I’ll be dead by then, mercifully.
“The Biden Recession is about to start.”
While we already lead the world in emissions management and quality standards.
Stolen elections have consequences!
Gina the Stupid is Back
The tech companies have spent over 30 years selling every kind of ELECTRICAL device possible, and now, we are supposed to do without electricity.
Because a lifelong bureaucrat knows all there is to know about energy production and manufacturing. All hail the bureaucrat.
Incorrect. The car companies and democrats are planning how to shaft the public, get massive subsidies from tax dollars, and how to mandate electric cars people don’t want. Along with how to make trillions on insider trading and enrich China, which owns the majority of the world’s rare earth mineral mines.
