David Popp, professor of public administration and international affairs in the Maxwell School, was interviewed by The New York Times for the story “Biden’s Lesson From Past Green Stimulus Failures: Go Even Bigger.” With past experience with a “green jobs” stimulus package that was not totally successful, the story explains how President Biden has plans for more extensive environmental policies. Popp, an expert on environmental economics, says that Biden’s new stimulus plan will not be enough to reduce emissions alone. “Unless they can pair it with a policy that forces people to reduce emissions, a big spending bill doesn’t have a big impact,” Popp says.
