White House climate adviser says Biden’s green spending is secure

White House adviser Ali Zaidi said the Biden administration is racing to lock in the hundreds of billions of clean energy investments in its landmark climate law — a pledge that comes as former President Donald Trump is vowing to dismantle the whole effort.

In an interview with the POLITICO Energy podcast ahead of Climate Week in New York City, Zaidi said the incentives in Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act and actions by U.S. allies abroad have sparked a shift in clean energy manufacturing and deployment.

“The Biden-Harris administration is focused on sprinting through the next few months, [with a] relentless focus on execution,” said Zaidi, the national climate adviser to President Joe Biden. “We’re implementing the largest investment climate in the history of the world and a regulatory agenda that has helped secure public health gains and environmental gains.”
