On a recent news show, the White House National Climate Adviser, Ali Zaidi, tried to reassure everyone that the Biden administration isn’t out to kill off the coal industry. He claims they just want to make the economy stronger and cleaner. The host, Connell McShane, seemed skeptical, wondering if the real plan was to shut down coal for good.
Zaidi insists they’re just looking out for everyone’s health by reducing pollution and fighting climate change. He even says they can boost the economy while doing all this. McShane then brings up the fact that shifting away from coal will cost jobs and change industries. Zaidi argues that clean energy is the way of the future and that most new power sources being built are clean.

McShane also points out that despite focusing on climate change, there’s been a lot of oil production under the Biden administration. Zaidi defends this by saying their goal is to strengthen the economy and attract investments in new technologies. He believes that by moving towards cleaner energy, the economy will thrive even more.
In the end, Zaidi wants everyone to know that the administration is all about building a better, cleaner future. He claims they’re not trying to slow anyone down, just speed up to a stronger, less polluting economy. So, according to him, it’s all sunshine and rainbows in the world of climate policy under President Biden.
