One of the more extreme left-wing ideas you may have heard is “environmental justice.” Contrary to its name, this buzzword is yet another effort by the Biden-Harris administration to block traditional energy and infrastructure projects. If the administration cared about bringing prosperity to low-income communities, it would drop its insistence on a forced green transition and support affordable and reliable energy sources that power the West and the rural United States.

The term “environmental justice” has been deployed to falsely advocate a healthy environment for underserved or low-income communities. However, it is clear that the goal of “environmental justice” is to threaten traditional energy projects and manufacturing facilities located in or near low-income communities. This is a tool for extreme environmentalists to force a transition to less affordable and reliable energy sources on the very communities they claim to be helping.
