Biden unveils climate change plan using Green New Deal as framework, after AOC criticism
Fox News ^ | June 04 2019 | Paul Steinhauser

Warning that “we must take drastic action now to address the climate disaster facing the nation and our world,” former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday unveiled a wide-ranging plan to combat climate change and transform America’s economy.

Using the Green New Deal as a framework, the clear front-runner right now in the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination announced he’s “calling for a Clean Energy Revolution to confront this crisis and do what America does best – solve big problems with big ideas.”

The price tag for the proposal -- named ‘The Biden Plan for a Clean Energy Revolution & Environmental Justice’ -- is $1.7 trillion over the next 10 years. Biden’s campaign said this would be supplemented by leveraging more than $5 trillion in additional private sector and state and local investments. This is considerably less expensive than the Green New Deal itself, for which cost estimates range as high as $93 trillion.

Instead of the usual “townhall” meetings, the DNC should arrange “Take Your Daughters To Meet Joe Biden” days. He’d be real good at those.

All you have to do is fly over the vast open spaces of the US, or look out over the oceans, to see how little impact humans could have on the planet.

But the ignorant people who buy into AGW think CO2 is somehow to blame. The more important question for them: how would spending $trillions eliminating ALL carbon dioxide produced in the US make any difference, when we generate only 14% of the CO2 in the world?

They should go after other countries before they demonize the US; we’re the only country actually reducing our carbon footprint.

We should be closely monitoring the Sun if we want to find out about Earth's climate. Care to explain the Maunder Minimum of 1645 to 1715, where the Thames and Seine Rivers froze over every winter and then some?

Name one democrat policy, initiative, or program that doesn’t cost ridiculous sums of money, waste a lot of money and time, and adversely impact individual liberties.

>>> ‘Environmental Justice’ <<<

Someone needs to ask Hidin’ Biden who are the judges for “environmental justice”?

Oprah? Sharpton? Mad Maxine? AOC?

And who writes the laws? What are the penalties? Who enforces environmental justice? Climate cops?

The one positive thing that you can say foe Joe is that nuclear energy is IN his new plan, and that is unambiguously good for the future of clean energy.
