Former Vice President Joe Biden endorsed the Green New Deal on Tuesday as a “crucial framework” for his plan to control climate change.
The proposal reads:
Biden believes the Green New Deal is a crucial framework for meeting the climate challenges we face. It powerfully captures two basic truths, which are at the core of his plan: (1) the United States urgently needs to embrace greater ambition on an epic scale to meet the scope of this challenge, and (2) our environment and our economy are completely and totally connected.
Biden detailed his plan in a video, vowing to make historic regulation standards for the United States.
“I’ll use every authority available to me to drive progress and I will not accept half measures,” he said. “Because making these revolutionary changes [are] going to take an incredible commitment at all levels but I am absolutely confident that that’s what the American people want to do.”
In his plan, Biden details a $1.7 trillion plan to invest in a clean energy economy for the goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2050.
Biden vows to sign a series of executive orders on the first day of his presidency to snap back energy regulations beyond those of the Obama administration and strict new vehicle and energy production emissions regulations.
The plan calls for every new light and medium duty vehicle sold in America to be electric, banning new oil and gas permits on public lands and doubling offshore wind energy production by 2030.
The former vice president said he would pay for the plan by rolling back Trump’s tax cuts, calling for a “historic investment in our clean energy future and environmental justice” instead.
He also promised to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement, promising to lead the world forward in a clean energy future with the tools of American foreign policy.

How bold, echoing every other disingenuous climatista.
So Biden wants to totally tank our economy. If you thought the economy sucked under Obama just wait to see what Biden would do!
Of course he dose we all know liberal democrats thinks Big Goverment can solve all problems the democrats are that dumb
Are these guys totally cracked ? Control climate change ? Really ? First they call half the country Deplorables then they pretend they are going to control the climate . These people are sick and stupid if they think that nonsense is getting them elected . Telling people what you think their priorities should be is a loser formula .
From the article from Biden, “Because making these revolutionary changes [are] going to take an incredible commitment at all levels but I am absolutely confident that that’s what the American people want to do.” Biden obviously is unaware of the surveys that show Americans are unwilling to spend more than $10 a month to fight climate change. I guess this shouldn’t be a surprise. He is also unaware that else where measures to fight climate change have resulted in the loss of jobs, not the creation of new jobs.
Seriously this guy is a throw away candidate . The Democrats are throwing false flags and the bag men have picked their candidate . What is Bernie even doing playing in their clown show .
Is that Biden guy really stupid^10 or is he ‘just’ acting ?
Jeez ! 🙁
