The Washington Post reported similar confirmation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       The 50% target would nearly double the nation\u2019s previous commitment. It also makes it more likely the U.S. can meet its mission of net zero emissions by 2050, a common refrain from a Biden administration that has made combating climate change a fixture of the first 100 days of policy proposals.<\/p>\n<p>More than 400 businesses have signed an open letter to Biden asking for the 2030 pledge.
