President Joe Biden is seeking billions of dollars to support clean energy projects and climate change mitigation as part of his federal budget proposal for 2023.
Overall, Biden’s budget request to Congress totals more than $5.7 trillion, including $44.9 billion to address the climate crisis.
The budget aligns with many priorities set out in the now-stalled Build Back Better Act, which featured $550 billion for clean energy and climate change mitigation.
“As we facilitate the transition to clean energy, the investments reflected in this latest budget will cut costs for Americans and secure our energy independence on our path towards a net-zero future,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in a statement.
