Frustrations with President Biden Grow as Environmentalists Oppose New Green Initiative<\/h2>\n<p>Americans&#8217; general frustrations with President Joe Biden continue to mount \u2014 and now the incumbent president seeking re-election is facing heat from some of the very same groups he so often champions.<\/p>\n<p>Biden and his beleaguered administration have long pushed &#8220;green&#8221; initiatives no matter how polarizing those policies may be.<\/p>\n<p>This time, however, it seems that polarization is hitting groups of environmentalists who are typically all aboard all things &#8220;green.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The policy in question this time, per The Washington Post, is the method of &#8220;carbon capturing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Carbon capturing&#8221; is exactly what it sounds like \u2014 taking those carbon emissions from various high-emission sources, &#8220;capturing&#8221; them and then storing them underground.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The entire process is a direct response to carbon dioxide being pumped into the air.<\/p>\n<p>The problem: If these carbon emissions are as dangerous as they are being touted, is storing them right below people&#8217;s feet a better answer?<\/p>\n<p>Many environmentalists are arguing, &#8220;No.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Post reported that &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/university-of-wisconsin-campus-asks-students-to-take-21-week-equity-challenge\/\" title=\"University Of Wisconsin Campus Asks Students To Take 21-Week \u2018Equity Challenge\u2019\">environmental justice<\/a> advocates&#8221; in Louisiana are opposing carbon capture techniques there because of the close proximity of these emissions to black communities as well as the already higher-than<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/environmentalists-furious-about-bidens-intrusive-new-green-initiative-do-it-where-you-live\/\" title=\"Environmentalists angry over Biden's invasive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/buttigieg-becomes-the-first-millennial-confirmed-to-a-cabinet-position\/\" title=\"Buttigieg Becomes The First Millennial Confirmed To A Cabinet Position\">green initiative<\/a>: &#8216;Implement it locally'&#8221;>-normal cancer rates found<\/a> in the region \u2014 earning one stretch of the state the nickname of &#8220;Cancer Alley.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, others fear that carbon capturing will embolden the very same fossil fuel titans they want to kneecap.<\/p>\n<p>If your emissions can just be stored underground, what&#8217;s to stop you from maximizing those emissions?<\/p>\n<p>There are also those with more pragmatic concerns \u2014 namely, how these underground gas bunkers will affect any planned infrastructure renovations or plans.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;What they&#8217;re trying to do to Louisiana now is I think the worst of anything we&#8217;ve been exposed to, because of all the uncertainty,&#8221; Beverly Wright, the executive director of the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice and member of the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council, told the Post.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Wright didn&#8217;t mince words about what she thought of carbon capturing: &#8220;In the real world, this is an experiment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chad Ross, who lives in the Donaldsonville area, told the Post he doesn&#8217;t trust any of what is being peddled.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is called Cancer Alley, and that&#8217;s part of the reason we don&#8217;t trust them,&#8221; Ross said. &#8220;It&#8217;s still not so good to have all these plants, so many of them, all around us. Anything could happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the Post, the &#8220;world&#8217;s largest ammonia and nitrogen plant&#8221; is just south of Donaldsonville.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley Gaignard, a part-time secretary for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-red-wave-of-conservative-women-elected-to-congress\/\" title=\"The Red Wave of Conservative Women Elected to Congress\">city council<\/a>, offered a counter-solution to the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t do it in my neighborhood. Do it where you live,&#8221; Gaignard said. &#8220;Right about now it&#8217;s politics over people. And I don&#8217;t think they give a damn about people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of particular concern for the president is the fact she voted for him in the 2020 general election and seems positively nonplussed by this.<\/p>\n<p>Biden can seldom afford to lose support from anyone. A recent CNN poll had his favorability at 32 percent \u2014 the lowest of his presidency \u2014 heading into the 2024 presidential campaign.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, as the drive toward &#8220;green&#8221; initiatives plows forward, it seems as though it will only get more divisive and polarizing \u2014 even among those who consider themselves environmental activists.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/environmentalists-furious-bidens-intrusive-new-green-initiative-live\/\">Environmentalists Furious About Biden&#8217;s Intrusive New Green Initiative: &#8216;Do It Where You Live&#8217;<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>that even his supporters are growing weary of his environmental agenda.
