Biden: Climate crisis, infrastructure 'existential threats' to US
President Biden delivered remarks in Scranton, Pa., on the urgency of addressing the climate crisis and passing the bipartisan infrastructure bill
The president said the infrastructure bill is needed to create jobs, lower costs, and make the U.S. more competitive globally
President Biden on Wednesday delivered remarks in Scranton, Pa., on the urgency of addressing the climate crisis and passing the bipartisan infrastructure bill. The president said the infrastructure bill is needed to create jobs, lower costs, and make the U.S. more competitive globally.
"The climate crisis is an existential threat to our nation and to the world," Biden said. "It is not a hoax. It is not a conspiracy theory. It is real, and it is happening now."
Biden said the infrastructure bill would invest in projects that will help the U.S. transition to a clean energy economy, such as electric vehicles, renewable energy, and energy efficiency.
"This bill will create millions of good-paying jobs and lower costs for families," Biden said. "It will make our country more competitive globally and help us meet the challenges of the 21st century."
The infrastructure bill passed the Senate in August with bipartisan support, but it has been stalled in the House of Representatives. Democrats have been unable to agree on the size and scope of the bill, and Republicans have opposed it outright.
Biden urged Congress to pass the infrastructure bill as soon as possible. He said the bill is "a once-in-a-generation investment in our country's future."
