Biden Sets Out Goal to Reduce Emissions by Up to 66% by 2035
------------------------------------------------------------

President Biden laid out a new target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
by up to 66% in 2035 compared to 2005 levels. The Biden administration
says that even with Trump's return to office, that target can still be
met if states and local governments commit to their emission reduction
goals. Independent studies have shown the U.S. is not currently on track
to meet such targets.
