Biden’s electoral ball and chain is action taken by the Environmental Protection Agency last year. The federal agency finalized a rule that repealed a Trump-era standard governing how natural water sources are regulated. The change meant farmers would face elevated scrutiny over how they use creeks, drainage ditches, and other water on their own property.
Fortunately, the Biden administration was stopped by the judiciary. Following a unanimous Supreme Court decision, the EPA was forced to weaken the regulation — restoring farmer autonomy over their own land. But given this White House’s track record of using backdoor approaches to sidestep court rulings (see student loan forgiveness), property owners shouldn’t get too comfortable.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration has also opened the door to an experimental food product that could devastate animal agriculture. In 2023, the federal government greenlit lab-grown meat for consumer sale. It’s made by putting animal cells into a bioreactor where they are left to multiply via chemical stimulation. The cells — which grow and divide indefinitely — mimic the behavior of a tumor.
The Biden administration’s decision is even more puzzling given lab-grown meat’s unknown health effects and estimated large environmental footprint. The University of California, for example, finds that scaling up production of lab-grown meat would be “highly energy intensive.” The authors conclude the global warming potential of the process could be up to 25 times greater than traditionally raised beef.
