President Joe Biden will use emergency wartime powers invoked in the name of “climate change” to boost U.S. production of electric heat pumps as his administration continues its push to replace gas furnaces and other appliances that run on fossil fuels.
President Biden will use the Cold War-era Defense Production Act (DPA) to boost spending on five alternative energy technologies, with electric heat pumps being the first to be awarded money under the emergency authority that is being invoked “on the basis of climate change,” the Department of Energy (DOE) said Friday.
