Buttigieg in Nevada

We definitely should rejoin (the Paris Agreement). We need a carbon fee and dividend model, and I think we can rebate the full value of that out to the American people on a progressive basis so that most Americans are made better off than before.

Even that’s not going to be enough.

We need to massively increase federal (research and development) on not just renewable energy, but energy storage and carbon storage. I think that we should set this to over $20 billion. Something that would be comparable would be the level of investment that you saw on something like the Manhattan Project or the Apollo project, because this really is the challenge of our time.
