If Trump used executive orders to build a stupid wall, then Biden is right to do same for climate

From the following AP article entitled "Biden vowing 'strong' climate action despite dual setbacks":
https://apnews.com/article/biden-climate-change-vows-action-despite-setbacks-45e5cf05f3fe6cfb3416aeea5ea1df3c

"The Supreme Court last month limited how the nation’s main anti-air pollution law can be used to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. Then late Thursday, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said he wants to delay sweeping environmental legislation that Democrats have pushed as central to achieving Biden’s ambitious climate goals."

"If the Senate will not act to address climate change and boost clean energy, “I will take strong executive action to meet this moment,? Biden said in a statement from Saudi Arabia"
-snip-

I for one am glad to see President Biden go this route. If Trump had his stupid wall built with an Executive Order, then Biden has every right to use all power available to him as President to address the existential crisis facing humanity.

If 50 repubs & 1 turncoat are going to hold not only America but the world hostage, then Biden should simply rule by EO - just like Trump did. But in this case it would be for the good of humanity.

Doesn't matter if it gets fought or overturned in the long run, Biden can simply reissue more EO's.

Going into the midterms it would shoot down McTurtle's & some MSM outlet's false narrative about 'do-nothing Dems'

So damn the torpedoes, let those EO's fly!
