Biden unveils $5 trillion climate plan
The Hill, Jun 4, 2019

Democratic White House hopeful Joe Biden released his climate policy proposal early Tuesday, targeting net-zero emissions and 100 percent clean energy economy by 2050.

The "Biden Plan for a Clean Energy Revolution & Environmental Justice" carries a price tag of $1.7 trillion for the federal government in its first 10 years, which the former vice president's campaign says will be paid by undoing the tax cuts enacted by President Trump and congressional Republicans.

Investments from state and local governments as well as private companies would push the total to $5 trillion.

"Science tells us that how we act or fail to act in the next 12 years will determine the very livability of our planet," Biden said in a statement. "That’s why I’m calling for a Clean Energy Revolution to confront this crisis and do what America does best – solve big problems with big ideas.”

The platform leaves the question of an enforcement mechanism to Congress.

As president, Biden would also re-enter the Paris climate accord and "lead an effort to get every major country to ramp up the ambition of their domestic climate target," according to his campaign.

Gotta at least admire he threw out a number.  Likely low on what he wants to do, but media needs to place this as a number with zeros so average guys can comprehend.
