To be sure, some of President Joe Biden’s recent accomplishments have been dramatic in their own right. After all, the Democrat recently helped prevent a war between Israel and Iran, while carefully navigating the congressional process on a critically important security aid package.

But that’s not all the incumbent president and his administration have been up to. The New York Times reported this morning:

The Biden administration on Thursday placed the final cornerstone of its plan to tackle climate change: a regulation that would force the nation’s coal-fired power plants to virtually eliminate the planet-warming pollution that they release into the air or shut down. The regulation from the Environmental Protection Agency requires coal plants in the United States to reduce 90 percent of their greenhouse pollution by 2039, one year earlier than the agency had initially proposed.

This comes the day after Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg made a big announcement of his own. NBC News reported:

A federal rule announced Wednesday will require airlines to quickly give cash refunds — without lengthy arguments — to passengers whose flights have been canceled or seriously delayed, the Biden administration said. ... The rule from the Transportation Department says passengers who decline other reimbursement like travel credits are to get cash refunds.

This week, the Biden administration has also:

announced a major breakthrough on non-compete clauses;
made millions of American workers eligible for overtime pay;
unveiled a new rule cracking down on the kind of investment advice that advisors, brokers, and insurance agents can give to retirement savers;
made it easier for military spouses to work remotely;
announced $7 billion in federal grants for residential solar projects in low- and middle-income communities.

Remember, not only are these worthwhile steps, they’re also a sampling of the kind of governing we’re seeing from the Biden administration over the last few days.
