Presumptive Presidential nominee Joe Biden released what he’s calling his “Clean Power Plan.” This plan is drastically more aggressive than anything he previously agreed to, including $2 Trillion in new taxes — as proposed, raising the corporate tax rate and through new taxes — to create 100% Carbon-Free Electricity by 2035 (electricity makes up one-third of energy demand in the United States).
This aggressive position teeters on the assumption that we are facing “existential threats” to our country, due to climate change.
