Biden’s pick for Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, is a founding member of the Climate Leadership Council, a group lobbying Congress to pass a national carbon tax.

John Kerry: "The Great Reset will happen. And I think it will happen with greater speed and with greater intensity than a lot of people might imagine...In effect, the citizens of the United States have just done a Great Reset. We’ve done a Great Reset. And it was a record level of voting. What astounds me is that as many people still voted for the level of chaos and breach of law and order and breaking the standards." … 'The notion of a ‘reset’ is more important than ever before. I personally believe, Borge, that we’re at the dawn of an extremely exciting time." ... “I believe no government is fundamentally going to make the climate crisis go away.
