Biden signs executive order catalyzing clean energy industries through federal sustainability

President Biden signs Executive Order 14057, "Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability," directing the federal government to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The order requires federal buildings to be carbon pollution-free by 2030, transitions the federal fleet to zero-emission vehicles by 2035, and requires federal procurement of clean energy. The federal government is the largest energy consumer in the U.S., making this a notable climate action.
