Does Biden's $2 trillion plan to rebuild infrastructure and stop climate change go far enough?
Domestic Policy,American Jobs Plan,General News
If implemented, President Joe Biden's New American Jobs Plan would rank not only as one of the biggest engines for creating good jobs (many of them in construction, which average about $30 an hour) but also as the nationβs most ambitious effort so far to curb greenhouse gas emissions β and put the country on a path to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The plan covers a lot of ground, including $174 billion to boost electric vehicles and shift consumers away from gas-powered cars β funding half a million charging stations by 2030, along with incentives to buy electric vehicles and funds to retool factories and boost domestic supplies of energy-saving materials.
