Below are the details of the proposal:
- Rebuild every single building in the U.S.
- Will end all traditional forms of energy in the next ten years.
- Plans to ban nuclear energy within 10 years if possible.
- Build trains across oceans and end all air travel!
- Don’t invest in new technology of Carbon Capture and Storage, just plant trees instead!
- Mandates all new jobs be unionized.
- May include a carbon tax.
- May include cap and trade.
- How much will it cost?
