Joe Biden released an ambitious $ 2 trillion climate change plan on Tuesday.
Wilmington, United States:
White House Hope Joe Biden on Tuesday released an ambitious $ 2 trillion climate change plan that would reorganize the U.S. energy sector and seek to produce carbon-free energy in just 15 years.
Clean energy proposal fleshed out in speech in Wilmington as veteran Democrat sought to contrast President Donald Trump ahead of November election by arguing that tackling climate change would create jobs massive under a Biden administration.
Biden has pledged to spend $ 2 trillion over four years to promote his plan, a dramatic acceleration of the $ 1.7 trillion he had offered to spend more than 10 years on his climate plan during the main race.
“Transforming the United States’ electricity sector to produce electricity without producing carbon pollution … will be the greatest boost to job creation and economic competitiveness in the 21st century,” said Biden.
“This is why we are going to create an electricity sector without carbon pollution by 2035.”
The plan includes more ambitious goals than the climate proposal he presented months ago when he presented himself as one of the most moderate Democratic candidates in the party’s nomination contest.
By embracing some of the ideas of his most liberal rivals at the time, including Senator Bernie Sanders and Washington Governor Jay Inslee, Biden seems determined to convince progressive voters who might be wary of the former vice-president and the Washington essentials for a long time.
He also said he would join the Paris climate deal from which Trump withdrew the U.S. in 2017, finance the construction of 1.5 million new energy-efficient homes, upgrade appliance standards and donate priority to renewable energies.
“We’re not just going to tinker around the edges,” said Biden.
“I know that meeting the challenge will be a unique opportunity to breathe new life into our economy.”
Biden said he would reverse a hundred steps Trump has taken to reverse environmental regulations.
He also reiterated parts of his previous climate proposal, the goals of which were shared by Democratic House leaders, including President Nancy Pelosi, which would put the nation on the path to zero net emissions across the country. economy by 2050 at the latest.
Biden, who has refrained from campaigning publicly amidst coronavirus epidemics, attacked Trump for his failure to contain a pandemic that killed 136,000 Americans, or to set a good example for citizens by wearing a mask, which it finally did on Saturday.
“It’s bad enough that even Donald Trump finally decided to wear a mask in public,” said Biden.
“I’m glad he made the change,” added Biden. “But Mr. President, it is not enough. We will not be able to turn the corner and get the American people back to work safely without presidential leadership.”
Biden also saved Trump and the Republicans for their lack of technological vision and for peddling “retrospective policies that will harm the environment” and harm the economy.
Biden leads Trump on most issues, polls say, but voters still see the president as stronger to lead the U.S. economy.
