Sanders, Warren in Nevada

2/13/20

Warren, a co-sponsor of the Green New Deal resolution, offers a climate plan that calls for $3 trillion in spending.

The Vermont senator’s climate plan also comes with a whopping price tag—$16 trillion. That’s many times the amount most of his opponents would spend. The plan calls for modernizing the energy grid nationwide and building new solar, wind and geothermal sources across the nation. Sanders also would send $200 billion to poor nations to help battle climate change on a global level. The funding for his plan would come partly from taxing the fossil fuel industry.
