Biden's climate targets are possible without clean energy program, but will need tax credits and regulations

An independent analysis says Biden's climate goals can be achieved with clean energy tax credits and decisive action and regulations across federal and state governments.
But it would take decisive action and regulations across federal and state governments, at a time when Democrats in Congress are struggling to come together and leverage their majority, and when the Biden administration's regulatory actions risk being challenged in court.
The nonpartisan Rhodium Group analyzed emissions reductions from several measures in the bills, including clean energy and electric vehicle tax credits, energy efficiency grant programs and funding for agricultural programs that sequester carbon, but left out the clean electricity program and a carbon or methane fee, given how uncertain their legislative survival is.
