Biden drafting order to invoke the Defense Production Act in pursuit of clean energy
This is not a fully fleshed-out newsletter but I wanted to share two quick things. First, a scoop from Nausicaa Renner and Austin Ahlman: The Biden administration is drafting an order to invoke the Defense Production Act in pursuit of clean energy independence. This is a big deal if they go through with it.
And Joe Manchin is back in play when it comes to a sweeping tax, health care, and climate bill — though on his terms, of course. I spell out what those terms are here.
I appreciate your concern for clean energy independence and hope, too, that the deal goes through--the sooner, the better.
