When faced with seemingly impossible challenges, American ingenuity has risen to meet them. We can do it again and defeat the climate crisis. The #GreenNewDeal is an opportunity to invest in a green economy and create 10.6 million new jobs. https://t.co/QLB6WueyUo

To achieve this, Warren is advocating for all new cars – including public transit vehicles, big rigs and more – to have zero emissions by 2030. She shared plans for a similar overhaul of all homes and buildings across the nation, as well as the country’s water infrastructure.

Warren said she plans to pay for the program federally and through establishing a ‘green bank’ with a substantial bonds program.

“We’re going to rebuild our infrastructure for 21st century and for better resilience,” she said. “We’re going to make changes as a country in conservation…and bring down the carbon that’s already in the atmosphere.”

Critics said the initiative fails to safeguard fossil fuel industry workers or provide a sufficient funding plan.
