On Thursday, Sanders finally responded with his own agenda to fight climate change. It’s his longest policy proposal yet, and in true Sanders form, it calls for the largest government outlay of any of the climate plans out there, commits to a massive surge in union jobs, and it picks a fight with the fossil fuel industry. 

Most of the other presidential contenders have set 2050 as their goalpost for carbon neutrality. But Sanders’s plan also calls for an intermediate goal of decarbonizing transportation and power generation, the two largest sources of emissions in the United States, by 2030, which would lower US emissions by 71 percent. The plan also calls for the US to help developing countries curb their emissions 36 percent by 2030.

Several 2020 Democrats have called for investment in the trillions of dollars, but in the fine print, these plans include public and private funding. Sanders’ plan is notably different because it calls more more money than any of the other candidates — $16.3 trillion in total — and the entire investment budget would come from federal dollars.

The plan generates money from various sources, including $6.4 trillion in revenue from selling energy via power marketing authorities, $2.3 trillion from income taxes from the new jobs created under the plan, and $1.2 trillion from reducing military expenses related to protecting oil shipping routes.

That money would then be spent across many different clean energy and climate adaptation programs:

$40 billion for a climate justice resiliency fund for under-resourced groups like Native Americans, people with disabilities, and the elderly to prepare for climate change

$200 billion for the United Nations Green Climate Fund to help other countries reduce their emissions

$1.52 trillion to deploy renewable energy and $852 billion for energy storage

$526 billion for an underground high-voltage direct current power transmission network

Sanders boldly claims his Green New Deal will “end unemployment” based on the sheer number of workers it will require; the campaign says their plan would create 20 million jobs. Currently roughly 6 million Americans are unemployed.

People only ask where the money will come from when it comes to helping poor people via healthcare access and education or things that don’t have immediate results like climate change deterrent policies. 

Yet they don’t ask where the money comes from that funds all these wars and tax cuts for the rich. 

Oh, that’s right. Every one of our paychecks funds those wars and tax cuts.

I'll read the plan later but I'm really curious to see his plan's details on curbing emissions  in developing countries. Sustainable Development policies should be promoted in these countries.

For that reason alone y'all should vote for him.

Yes politicians talk all the time and who knows if he'll be able to do that but he seems serious about this issue

What clownery. 

Bet you had nothing to say when they gave $2 trillion away to the 1% that your tax dollars are funding 

AOC, Bernie's, and Warren's plans actually investing in REAL Americans though

Deflecting and bringing up an irrelevant point when something accurate and actually substantive is raised. Typical trolling and Republican strategy
