But these efforts to reduce emissions amount to “low-hanging fruit,” said Schapira, with the Philadelphia Energy Authority. She said the investments to date have largely been for changes that will pay for themselves in energy savings. “It’s things that can be budget-neutral,” she said. “We haven’t reorganized how we do things.

JUNEAU, Alaska — In a move that angered Republicans, the Biden administration canceled the seven remaining oil and gas leases in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge last week, overturning sales held in the Trump administration’s waning days, and proposed stronger protections against development on vast swaths of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska.
