President Biden's clean energy czar John Podesta has made a number of new hires, staffing his office with individuals who have an extensive record of pushing green energy policies.
"We are fortunate that John Podesta will lead our continued innovation and implementation," President Biden said in September. "His deep roots in climate and clean energy policy and his experience at senior levels of government mean we can truly hit the ground running to take advantage of the massive clean energy opportunity in front of us." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
Among its main tasks, Podesta's office will be implementing the programs and grants included in the Inflation Reduction Act, Democrats' $739 billion climate and tax bill passed over the summer. The legislation enables the federal government to distribute more than $350 billion worth of loans and grants to green energy projects nationwide.
