Joe Biden Announces Historic Executive Order to Accelerate Clean Energy Research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
CAMBRIDGE, MA — In a landmark move, President Joe Biden today signed an executive order directing federal agencies to allocate five billion dollars toward a new public-private partnership focused on accelerating clean energy research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The announcement, made during a tour of the university’s state-of-the-art labs, comes amid growing pressure to meet ambitious climate goals ahead of the 2025 international summit. Officials say the initiative will fund advanced battery storage and carbon capture technologies, with an aim to reduce national emissions by thirty percent by 2030. Observers note that this is the first major domestic policy push of the president’s second term.
