Biden has made a lot of his ambition to both decarbonize the economy and create jobs while doing it. Over the past few months, I’ve tried to understand what the tradeoffs are and what it would take to execute it. How do unions and environmentalists think about the transition to green energy differently? Or do you try to speed it up and accelerate the transition to renewables at a cost of fewer jobs? We’ve seen some of this get hammered out in a way that doesn’t necessarily satisfy everybody on the state level.
