Biden Climate Agenda Poses Threat to Gas,Oil Jobs

摘要

As President Joe Biden moves forward with policies aimed at tackling climate change,he is facing a long-standing critique:any environmental or climate-related regulation will lead directly to job losses in the oil and gas industry that simply cannot be recovered.Of concern are Biden's early moves to stop making new public territory available for drilling,canceling a permit for the controversial and long-delayed Keystone XL pipeline,and previewing restrictions on methane emissions(NGWMar.8'21).So what might the impact of these policies really be? Such figures are always difficult to parse,with external estimates often reflecting the policy bias of the groups in question.
