The Biden administration, mindful that its climate policies could hasten the already steep decline of the coal industry, aims to revitalize coal-dependent communities. President Biden’s climate-focused executive order signed on January 27 established an interagency working group to support vulnerable communities.
The group’s first report highlights 25 energy communities that are potentially at risk and identifies $38 billion in available federal funding to invest in infrastructure, broadband, small businesses, and local financial institutions. Environmental remediation will be a priority, building on President Biden’s plan to invest up to $16 billion in plugging orphaned oil and gas wells and reclaiming abandoned mines. The Biden administration plans to hold a series of town hall discussions in these communities, in an important step toward engaging local voices to find solutions rooted in each region’s particular needs

The Washington Legislature passed Senate Bill 5126, the Climate Commitment Act, on April 24, 2021, which establishes a greenhouse gas emissions cap-and-invest program for utilities, industrial facilities, and other operations with greater than 25,000 metric tons of emissions. Covered entities will be subject to a statewide emissions cap that decreases over time to match the state’s goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. Under the Climate Commitment Act, the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) will seek to link the cap-and-invest program’s market for emissions allowances and offsets with California’s cap-and-trade program. Revenue from Washington’s program is intended to fund emissions reduction projects, emphasizing projects in communities overburdened by the impacts of climate change and air pollution.
