Joe Biden's campaign unveiled a climate policy plan Tuesday aimed at getting the United States to eliminate net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
The former vice president's plan -- which comes amid criticism from progressives that he wouldn't go far enough to fight climate change -- carries a price tag of $1.7 trillion in its first 10 years -- including $400 billion for research between universities and the private sector -- which Biden's campaign says it would pay for by undoing the tax cuts enacted by President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans.
— Joe Biden June 4, 2019 Biden has pledged on the campaign trail -- including during a recent trip to New Hampshire -- to make climate change a priority during his bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. "This is no time to turn back. I've been saying for years that this is an existential threat that requires a green revolution and it does, it does," Biden said in Manchester last month.
