President Biden told us early on that he’d put the green agenda high on the top of his list of things to accomplish. We should have believed him, but because many of us didn’t, we’re paying the price.

Mr. Biden got to where he is by being Lunch Bucket Joe, a friend to working men and women alike. He shared their struggles as a boy growing up in a working-class community in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He learned to embrace their values and understands their hopes and dreams.

Now, as commander in chief, he’s about to betray them by vetoing the bipartisan congressional repeal of regulations his administration promulgated concerning the standards under which funds such as pensions are invested.

Some time ago, the global environmental movement hit on the idea of pressuring pension funds and other entities that manage large portfolios to stop investing in traditional energy stocks and development projects. Instead, they needed to be the funding source for the world’s transition to green energy.
