Sen. Sanders unveiled his presidential campaign’s take on the Green New Deal. His campaign said the 10-year plan would put the U.S. on the path to 100% renewable energy for electricity and transportation by 2030 and complete decarbonization by 2050.
. Sanders has long been an outspoken advocate for the Green New Deal, the landmark climate change legislation that has become a progressive litmus test.
His campaign said the 10-year plan would put the United States on the path to 100 percent renewable energy for electricity and transportation by 2030 and complete decarbonization by 2050. It includes proposals to boost public transit systems and build a modern energy grid. While Sanders' campaign said he'll work to"end the fossil fuel industry's greed," the plan will ensure"a just transition for communities and workers, including fossil fuel workers."
Noting his seven grandchildren, he said that"there is nothing that I can think of that is more important than leaving this planet healthy and habitable for them and the generations to come after them."
