The jockeying for Democrats’ future blueprint on climate and clean energy has begun.
A collection of former Biden administration officials, academics and policy experts on Thursday released what they described as a counterweight to the conservative Project 2025, the policy handbook written by many former — and now current — Trump administration officials.
The 19 authors wanted to stake their place as Democrats search for how to articulate climate and clean energy policies. Some of the ideas may appear controversial for a potential Democratic administration to pursue beginning in 2029, said Todd Tucker, director of industrial policy and trade at the liberal think tank the Roosevelt Institute, who edited the 155-page document that was first shared with POLITICO.
“We sort of see this as the first step of injecting this into the bloodstream,” Tucker said in an interview.
