Former Vice President Joe Biden laid out a climate change plan on Tuesday that would pour $1.7 trillion of federal money into clean energy spending over a decade to bring U.S. greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050.
And he said he would funnel federal revenues from eliminating the Trump tax cuts passed in late 2017 and ending tax breaks for the fossil fuel industry to finance a federal clean energy spending program. Biden would demand Congress pass climate change legislation his first year in office to create an enforcement mechanism for reducing emissions, make a “historic investment” in climate research and encourage “rapid deployment of clean energy” to achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century.

Advisers to Biden said last month that his climate agenda would seek a “middle ground,” which quickly drew rebukes from progressives who said anything but aggressive action would leave the U.S. short of what climate scientists say is necessary to avert the worst effects of climate change.

Hogwash
Too bad he once again stole his quotes from someone else. Not one quote, but multible quotes from multiple sources. Sound familiar?
they say he plagiarized a portion of his plan from another source. I wonder if it's going to knock him out of the presidential election like his plagiarism did last time
IwriteOK At this point the conversation shifts from 'Biden is an empty centrist with 0 policies!' to claiming 'Biden is an empty centrist who is lying about having policies!' with 0 evidence
Cashing in on the climate change scheme. The new Al Gore, ladies and gentlemen.
He’s already taken it, does he mean no more. He’ll keep playing policy catch up and everyone’s gonna keep believing nothing he says. Didn’t y’all promise to close gitmo etc etc... everyone still remembers all the promises that the corporations wouldn’t let you fulfill JoeBiden.
Weirdly casual use of 'greens' to refer to voters that care about climate change. Obviously in context it makes sense but I don't think its a generally accepted term
MarcACaputo Feels like Politico has become “The Biden Media Outlet” NoJoe
Still wouldn't trust him with our kids.
Democrats are full of empty promises. He has been all His life in politics He waited to the end of His life to do something He had enough time to do everything democrats been saying and this is why I WalkAway
Plagiarize Bernie's ideas away by making few tiny changes. You can't fake what you don't believe in.
Vote Biden in 2020, because what’s another $1,700,000,000,000 in wasteful spending?
Idiot
No fracking ban? NEXT. NoMiddleGround
Biden: 'LOOK AT MEEEEEE!!!!!!!'
I'm a psychologist concerned that many people don't talk about climate change because they simply don’t know how to, so I wrote something about how to have a useful conversation about climate change. Here it is
Who is going to pay for this? Stop giving so much money and benefits to illegal immigrants could be a start.
You can’t win an election with policies... pfft!
Groper Joe

Bernie is better on every single issue and comes with 40 years of consistency. If you have a brain and a true desire for economic justice along with all the given social justice issues it’s no contest. BERNIE2020
Solyndra Graduated
Nope, not interested...he hs nt signed the fossil fuel pledge n took 10 days frm campaign trail 2 meet donors behind closed doors. he is constantly defending billionaires. He is not trustworthy, if anything, with each passing day he is appearing cringeworthy. Bernie2020
Spend and tax
Joe work with China on that. With no payouts please
Sorry but you lost me at the sentence “While short on details”. Considering how often he’s run, his time as VP & how much he wanted to run in 2016, this guy should be long on policies, details & plans. Instead it’s another round of “it’s my turn” Democrats Candidacy NoJoe
Breaking: Joe Biden to copy plans laid out by other candidates in order to feel relevant
Pathetic.Keep us safe build the Wall and rebuild much needed infrastructure with money instead.realDonaldTrump foxandfriends SpeakerPelosi
Freaking crazy. There goes his chances.....of being taken seriously by anyone about to retire and those already retired.
As if anybody believes the corporate shill!
What is Biden doing about for-profit, neglectful US healthcare? Keeping it in the hands of employer health 'options' & corporations that refuse to cover procedures, charge highest co-pays, create unaffordable medications. All of this for corporate profit, not US health.
'While short on details, Biden's plan mirrors many of his rivals'...'
Now do a story about his lies in regard to marching in the Civil Rights movement. NeverBiden
Just NO!
'federal money' is a strange way of saying you'll take it from people by force to spend on your friends new green company. $1.7 trillion wow is he so generous with other people's money!

Quelqu'un de responsable et raisonnable qui pense à nos enfants.
Biddey bull schiiittttzzz
Better idea: Pour 150 to 200 billion into America being the first country to make fusion power a reality. That achievement alone, along with building new clean reactors all across the country, will reduce carbon and other greenhouse gasses. There, just saved us $1.5 trillion.
Here, let me fix that headline for you: Joe Biden has laid out a climate change plan that would pour $1.7 trillion of American Taxpayer's money into clean energy spending over a decade, adding to the $22 Trillion (and rising) national debt. NationalDebt
