Reducing America’s emissions (if that’s your thing) is a major goal of President Elect Biden’s platform, but it should not be implemented by “leaking” environmental degradation and human atrocities to foreign countries that are supplying the exotic minerals and metals to support green electricity. Biden has an opportunity to follow the lead of the United Nations and Amnesty International as the efforts to achieve net zero emissions must not be built on human rights abuses or on non-existent environmental regulations in foreign countries.
Biden’s “war on pollution”, will require worldwide transparency of supply chains, and environmental and labor protection laws and standards to control the environmental degradation and humanity atrocities occurring around the world from the mining in the foreign countries that dominate the supply chain of the exotic minerals and metals to support wind turbines, solar panels and EV battery construction.

I would guess that at best he will penalize mining companies (any company) that are in competition with Chinese, and do nothing about companies that Chinese industry have interests in.
Biden wont be president. I’m picking there is going to be a completely new and more commonsense approach to preserving our environment. The last 20 years has seen an obsession’s with CO2 to the detriment of everything else, with multiple bogus calls about casnigens.

No climate alarmism going on there 👍
Net zero nonsense is just a fad for the deluded.
