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.

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.

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.
Who does Pervert Uncle “touchy feely” Joe think he is, AL Gore?
The guy’s delusional, but he sure knows how to throw away OTHER PEOPLE’S (OUR) money.
Your first sentence is your explanation.
>>> ‘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?
Wow. What must I do to get in on the gravy train side of this scam?
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.
“State and local investments” — I wonder what that is?
You know...it’s “hold onto your wallet”
