The United States must have a bold plan to achieve a 100% clean energy economy and net-zero emissions no later than 2050 here at home.
On day one, President Biden will sign a series of executive orders that put us on this track. And, he will demand that Congress enacts legislation in the first year of his presidency that
1) establishes an enforcement mechanism to achieve the 2050 goal, including a target no later than the end of his first term in 2025 to ensure we get to the finish line,
2) makes a historic investment in energy and climate research and innovation,
3) incentivizes the rapid deployment of clean energy innovations across the economy.
Failure is not an option. If Congress falls short of its duty to act, President Biden will hold them accountable.

On day one, President Biden will use the full authority of the executive branch to significantly reduce emissions.
Joe Biden recognizes we must go further, faster and more aggressively than ever before, by:
- Requiring aggressive methane pollution limits for new and existing oil and gas operations.
- Using the Federal government procurement system – which spends $500 billion every year – to drive towards 100% clean energy and zero-emissions vehicles.
- Ensuring that all U.S. government installations, buildings, and facilities are more efficient and climate-ready, harnessing the purchasing power and supply chains to drive innovation.
- Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation – the fastest growing source of U.S. climate pollution – by preserving and implementing the existing Clean Air Act, and developing rigorous new fuel economy standards aimed at ensuring 100% of new sales for light- and medium-duty vehicles will be electrified and annual improvements for heavy duty vehicles.
- Doubling down on the liquid fuels of the future, which make agriculture a key part of the solution to climate change. Advanced biofuels are now closer than ever as we begin to build the first plants for biofuels, creating jobs and new solutions to reduce emissions in planes, ocean-going vessels, and more.
- Saving consumers money and reduce emissions through new, aggressive appliance- and building-efficiency standards.
- Committing that every federal infrastructure investment should reduce climate pollution, and require any federal permitting decision to consider the effects of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
- Requiring public companies to disclose climate risks and the greenhouse gas emissions in their operations and supply chains.
- Protecting biodiversity, slowing extinction rates and helping leverage natural climate solutions by conserving 30% of America’s lands and waters by 2030.
- Protecting America’s natural treasures by permanently protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and other areas impacted by President Trump’s attack on federal lands and waters, establishing national parks and monuments that reflect America’s natural heritage, banning new oil and gas permitting on public lands and waters, modifying royalties to account for climate costs, and establishing targeted programs to enhance reforestation and develop renewables on federal lands and waters with the goal of doubling offshore wind by 2030.
As our president, Joe Biden will establish an enforcement mechanism to achieve net-zero emissions no later than 2050, including a target no later than the end of his first term in 2025 to ensure we get to the finish line.
This enforcement mechanism will be based on the principles that polluters must bear the full cost of the carbon pollution they are emitting and that our economy must achieve ambitious reductions in emissions economy-wide instead of having just a few sectors carry the burden of change.
The enforcement mechanism will achieve clear, legally-binding emissions reductions with environmental integrity.
As our president, Joe Biden will make a historic investment in energy and climate research and innovation, as well as clean and resilient infrastructure and communities.
Notwithstanding the progress we have made in reducing emissions in the power sector, fossil fuels still comprise nearly 80% of global energy use.
There is much more work to be done to identify affordable solutions.
Today, we are on the cusp of breakthroughs in technologies, such as batteries that can more efficiently store energy for use at moments of peak demand, more efficient controls and sensors for advanced manufacturing, more effective and thinner insulation for buildings, and cybersecurity improvements to make smart grids more resilient to right-wing terror attacks.
Define 'clean energy'. Define 'environmental justice'. Increasing taxes on corporation causes those corporations to relocate overseas and/or limit how many people they can hire, since that money went to pay abusive taxes.
So...no purpose in spending this money, eh?
Quite the opposite happened, dumbass.
Define 'clean energy'. Fascism is illegal.
We don't use fossils for fuel. Fossils don't burn. There are no subsidies for using fossils as fuel.
Taxing only the rich violates the 14th amendment.

We have to get rid of the old way of thinking that the clean economy and jobs don’t go together.
They do!
There are currently more than three million people in the United States employed in the clean energy economy.
But, there is a huge opportunity to revitalize the U.S. energy sector, boost growth economy-wide, and re-claim the mantle as the world’s clean energy leader and top exporter.
As our president, Joe Biden will ensure that clean economy jobs are good jobs, jobs for life!
To accelerate this progress, as our president, Joe Biden will make the largest-ever investment in history in clean energy research and innovation.
After World War II, public investment in research and collaboration between universities and the private sector spurred American innovation, led to rapid economic and job growth, and helped build a strong middle class.
The Biden plan will double down on this approach to create the industries of the future by investing $400 billion over ten years.
That’s twice the investment of the Apollo program which put a man on the moon, in today’s dollars.
This investment will enable us to develop new technological break-throughs that will create millions of jobs and drastically reduce emissions.
Define 'global warming'. Carbon dioxide has absolutely no capability to warm the Earth. No gas or vapor does. You can't create energy out of nothing. You cannot trap heat. You cannot trap light. You cannot trap thermal energy. There is always heat.
This is scripture from the Church of Global Warming. It is not science. It denies the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics and the Stefan-Boltzmann law. It denies mathematics. It is not possible measure the temperature of the Earth. We don't have enough thermometers. NASA propaganda is just that...government propaganda.
It is not possible to measure the temperature of the oceans. Math error.
It is not possible to measure the global snow and ice on the Earth. Math error.
Antarctica's ice sheet had a record MAXIMUM winter ice extent in 2014...the largest ever recorded.
Glaciers are advancing around the world too. You keep leaving that part out.
It is not possible to measure the global sea level. No valid reference point. Math error. Base rate fallacy.
Define 'extreme event'. Define 'intense rainfall'. It is not possible to measure the global rainfall on Earth. Math error.
