How the Biden-Harris Administration will transform America and the world

Joe Biden knows that our response to this climate emergency presents an opportunity.

More than three million people in the United States are already employed in the clean energy economy.

That is only the beginning of what is possible. Our response to man-made climate change will create more than 10 million well-paid jobs in the United States.

America has a great opportunity to lead in the industries of the future by strengthening clean energy.

That’s why President Joe Biden will make the largest investment in history to meet our country’s energy needs.

And, President Joe Biden will ensure that clean economy jobs are good jobs.

We must ensure jobs created as part of the clean energy revolution offer good wages, extensive benefits, and ironclad worker protections.

To this end, President Biden will defend workers’ rights to form unions and collectively bargain in these emerging and growing industries and reinvigorate and repurpose AmeriCorps for climate sustainability, so that every American can participate in the clean energy economy.

Unfortunately, today the Trump Administration allowed America to fall behind in the clean energy race.

In 2017, China invested $3 in renewable energy for every $1 the Trump Administration invested in America.

By 2030, the Biden-Harris Administration will make America the world’s leader in clean energy.
 
Our country is already reeling under the impact of man-made climate change.

Because the Trump Administration abdicated climate leadership, America’s mayors and other local leaders have stepped up to build smarter cities that can withstand storms, floods, urban heat, and wildfire as well as sea level rise.

The Biden-Harris Administration will once again give all Americans a true leader in the White House.
 
A sustainable, clean infrastructure is critical to economic growth.

An International Monetary Fund study found that increasing green infrastructure investment by 1% of GDP can raise growth by 0.4% to 1.5%.

Joe Biden believes that this investment is essential and that, as we take long overdue steps to improve crumbling infrastructure, we must also prioritize achieving deep emission reductions.

To that end, President Biden will make certain that every infrastructure investment that receives federal funding reduces climate pollution.

Fascists are so inconsistent in their lies. We don't have Democracy but also we do and the Democrats cheat. :laugh:
This is just like, the Democrats hate white people but they're White Supremacists who hold down black people.
 
As part of the Clean Energy Revolution legislative package, President Joe Biden will make groundbreaking investments in clean and resilient infrastructure and communities.

As our president, Joe Biden will:

  • Define the climate adaptation agenda. President Biden will bring together the best innovators to help design common-sense zoning and building codes and help communities build and rebuild before and after natural disasters and other shocks and stresses.
  • Develop new tools to manage and reduce risk and the cost of transferring risk. Working with the insurance industry, the Biden-Harris Administration will identify ways to lower property insurance premiums for homeowners and communities who invest in resilience, expanding programs like the Community Rating System that FEMA currently administers across the country.
  • Build a new resilient infrastructure economy. President Biden will create a new class of well-paid jobs and job training around climate-resilient precepts. Coastal relocation, resilient infrastructure design, construction and evaluation (such as bridges that withstand high winds and roads that don’t wash out during storms and floods), natural solutions (such as tree plantings on a large scale to combat urban heat and its associated negative health impacts), and technological solutions to easily assess risk and protect people and their property are all proven to improve the resilience of communities. They are also opportunities for job growth and economic vitality all over the country.
  • Spark the second great railroad revolution. Two centuries ago, the first great railroad expansion drove our industrial revolution. Today, the U.S. is lagging behind Europe and China in rail safety and speed. President Joe Biden will develop a plan to ensure that America has the cleanest, safest, and fastest rail system in the world – for both passengers and freight.
  • With respect to passenger rail: He’ll start by putting the Northeast Corridor on higher speeds and shrinking the travel time from D.C. to New York by half – and build in conjunction with it a new, safer Hudson River Tunnel. He will make progress toward the completion of the California High Speed Rail project. He will expand the Northeast Corridor to the fast-growing South. Across the Midwest and the Great West, he will begin the construction of an end-to-end high speed rail system that will connect the coasts, unlocking new, affordable access for every American.
  • With respect to freight: The Biden-Harris Administration will pursue projects like a bridge that connects Oregon and Washington State that moves not only trucks but rail transit, and the completion of the CREATE project in Chicago that will cut in half the time it takes vital goods to move through the country. This plan will reduce pollution, help connect workers to quality jobs with shorter commutes, and spur investment in communities more efficiently connected to major metropolitan areas.
 
In the void left by the Trump Administration’s inaction, progressive governors and mayors have been forced to set ambitious goals and implement large-scale programs to address man-made climate change.

Their efforts also bolster local economies: The Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts solar installers and wind turbine technicians to be the two fastest growing occupations through 2026 (with 105% and 96% growth, respectively).

Local efforts include:

  • New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham pledged to reduce statewide greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2030; New Mexico is currently the country’s third-largest producer of oil.
  • Colorado Governor Jared Polis committed his state to 100% clean electricity by 2040; he signed an executive order to move the state to zero-emission vehicle standards and increase adoption of electric vehicles.
  • Oregon lawmakers have introduced a carbon cap and trade proposal that would set a 52 million metric ton cap on greenhouse gas emissions. This follows California’s own cap and trade system and that of nine northeast states (Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont) which comprise the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.
  • Twenty-nine states, three territories, and Washington D.C., have adopted Renewable Portfolio Standards which mandate a specified portion of the electricity that utilities sell come from renewable resources.
  • Cities have taken the lead too: over 35 cities set a goal of 80% emissions reductions by 2050 and over 400 mayors honor the Paris Agreement. Cities are creatively tackling this problem including by implementing energy taxes that reduce emissions (Boulder, CO), electrifying public transit (e.g., Los Angeles), and pledging all municipal electricity be generated by carbon-free sources by 2020 (e.g., Kansas City, MO).

These progressive states and cities deserve to have a leader in the White House.

President Joe Biden will be that leader.

Pretty much. They haven't got a clue about anything scientific, technical, or engineering related. When it comes to STEM, the Left are utter and complete retards.

Bingo. Their religion must deny science and mathematics to support it's tenets.

The Church of Global must show:

That it is possible for a magick gas to somehow create additional energy,
That it is possible for a colder gas to somehow heat the warmer surface of the Earth.
That it is possible to reduce entropy by trapping thermal energy or light.
That it is possible to increase the temperature of Earth, yet reduce it's radiance in violation of the Stefan-Boltzmann law,
That it is possible to somehow measure the temperature of the Earth, using only enough thermometers so that one thermometer covers the size of the State of Virginia.
That it is somehow mathematically meaningful to ignore location grouping factors and time, and fail to declare variances or to calculate a margin of error value when discussing statistical math.

No matter where they claim 'science', they are denying it.
No matter where they claim 'data', they are manufacturing it.
No matter where they claim a statistical summary, they are denying statistical math.
If they claim a 'proof', it is nothing more than a circular argument fallacy (fundamentalism).

it's a regular pattern. The Church of Global Warming, the Church of Green, the Church of Covid, all stem from the Church of Karl Marx.
 
Despite the depredations of the Trump Administration, the United States accounts for only 15% of global emissions, so Joe Biden knows we cannot solve the climate emergency on our own.

Man-made climate change is a global challenge that requires decisive action from every developed country around the world.

That’s why the Obama-Biden Administration mobilized the world to achieve the 2015 Paris Climate Accord.
 
DNC Official said:
On day one, President Biden will start enacting a national strategy to develop a low-carbon manufacturing sector in every state, accelerating cutting-edge technologies and ensuring businesses and workers have access to new technologies and skills, with a major focus on helping minority-owned manufacturers upgrade their capabilities to have low-carbon futures.

This far-reaching strategy will connect research universities, unions, and state and local governments and provide them with unprecedented levels of funding for deployment of a plan to help their state or region build a low-carbon future that reflects climate impacts in local communities.

Selected industries will be eligible for funding to clean energy.

Allocated tax credits and subsidies will be available for eligible businesses to deploy low-carbon technologies.

Where states feel competitive pressures or requirements in response to the climate emergency may threaten a local economy, President Biden’s national strategy will fund efforts to move to a low-carbon approach that can preemptively develop new economic strategies, including deployment of federal funding for innovation centers.

Define 'climate change'. Define 'global warming'. Define 'climate emergency'. Buzzword fallacies. Fascism is illegal in the United States.

President Trump petulantly threw away the hard-won progress made by the visionary Obama-Biden Administration.

As our president, Joe Biden will rejoin the Paris Agreement, but simply rejoining the Accord is not enough. President Biden will use every tool of American foreign policy to apologize to the rest of the world for the failure of the Trump Administration. A Biden Administration will:

President Biden will re-enter the Paris Agreement on day one of the Biden-Harris Administration and will lead a major diplomatic push to regain the respect of other nations.

The Paris Agreement was a historic breakthrough for the world, and reflected the power of patient, strategic diplomacy in service of America’s long-term national interests.

The core of the agreement relies on countries continually increasing the ambition of their climate targets over time.

But since President Trump was placed in office, he has abdicated our commitment to this agreement.

This means that re-entering Paris on day one of the Biden-Harris Administration is only the first step of an important and sustained effort to dramatically restore America's standing and prestige in the world.

As Vice President, Joe Biden was there alongside President Obama to rally the world; and he will be prepared on day one of his presidency to take it to the next level.

To catalyze this effort, President Biden will, in his first 100 days in office:

  1. Convene a climate world summit to directly engage the leaders of the Western carbon-emitting nations of the world to persuade them to join the United States in making more ambitious national pledges, above and beyond the commitments they have already made.
  2. Lead the world to lock in enforceable international agreements to reduce emissions in global shipping and aviation.
  3. Embrace the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, adding momentum to curbing hydrofluorocarbons, an especially potent greenhouse gas, which could deliver a 0.5 degree Celsius reduction in global warming by mid-century.
 
As our president, Joe Biden will aggressively pursue strong new measures to stop other Western countries from cheating on their climate commitments.

We can no longer separate trade policy from our climate objectives.

President Biden will not allow other nations, including Russia, to game the system by becoming destination economies for polluters, undermining our climate efforts.

As the U.S. takes steps to make domestic polluters bear the full cost of their carbon pollution, the Biden-Harris Administration will impose carbon adjustment fees or quotas on carbon-intensive goods from Western countries that are failing to meet their climate and environmental obligations.

This will encourage other nations to raise their climate ambitions.

President Biden will also condition future trade agreements on partners’ commitments to meet enhanced Paris climate targets which he will put forth soon.
 
As our president, Joe Biden will demand a worldwide ban on fossil fuel subsidies in the Western world.

There is simply no excuse for subsidizing fossil fuel, either in the United States or in Europe.

In fact, a 2015 International Monetary Fund study showed that efficient fossil fuel pricing would have reduced global carbon emissions by nearly 30%.

President Biden will build on the achievements of the Obama-Biden Administration to get other Western countries to phase out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies.

By engaging key allies like China, President Biden will secure a global commitment to force Western nations to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies by the end of his first term.

He will lead by example, with the United States cutting fossil fuel subsidies at home in his first year and redirecting these resources to the historic investment in clean energy.
 
As our president, Joe Biden will ensure the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the Export-Import Bank, and the new U.S. International Development Finance Corporation significantly reduce the carbon footprints of their portfolios.

For example, these agencies will be prohibited from any financing for coal or oil-fired power plants.

How much do you think a kilowatt-hour of electricity will cost if that happens? Do you know what a kilowatt-hour of electricity is? Do you have any concept how electricity is generated?
