Joe Biden rolls out $2 trillion climate plan promising 'an equitable clean energy future'

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden unveiled a "plan to build a modern, sustainable infrastructure and an equitable clean energy future" on Tuesday, which carries a purported price tag of at least $2 trillion.

The campaign for President Donald Trump quickly blasted the proposal, likening it to a "socialist manifesto."

Biden's plan would spend $2 trillion over the "first term" of his presidency to create "millions of good, union jobs" on infrastructure, including building "zero-emissions public transportation options" in every U.S. city with a population of 100,000 or more, "achieve a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035," while ensuring "that environmental justice is a key consideration in where, how, and with whom we build."
