Democrats outline sweeping legislation to make U.S. carbon neutral by 2050

House Democrats outlined their vision for sweeping climate legislation Wednesday, offering a first look at a bill that would push the U.S. to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Wednesday’s white paper provides the framework that lawmakers in July promised to deliver by early 2020 – a broad climate bill targeting every major sector of the economy.

“We’re treating this climate crisis like the emergency that it is,” House Energy and Commerce Chair Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) said of the so-called CLEAN Future Act.

The measure includes a requirement that utilities work toward 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2050, a mandate that includes a carbon credit trading system. The transportation sector would also have to be emissions free by that deadline, as the Environmental Protection Agency ratchets up increasingly tight vehicle standards. And buildings and industry would also have to clean up their act, using materials from more environmentally friendly sources while meeting tighter building codes.

States would play an active role in developing plans to ensure their economies meet the national standard.

And funding it all would be a first-of-its-kind National Climate Bank, mobilizing private and public funding to boost technological innovation as well as projects to bolster against the effects of climate change.

The legislation is also slated to include a “buy clean” program modeled after the Buy American Act, which preferences American-made products in federally-funded projects. The Buy Clean Program would score construction materials, requiring big building projects to use those that produce fewer emissions in their sourcing and production.

The problem with the Carbon hoax is that it takes away the focus and funding from real pollution. And it starves plants.

Exactly. This is designed to make life in general so incredibly expensive the average person will lose all upward mobility and depend more and more on government help to live. Policies like this will decimate the economy for the average person.

Leftist policies create a wealthy elite class, decimate the middle class and create a huge under/poor class.

“National Climate Bank”? So it’s graft, a kickback, and pork, all in one — the Dems are gonna LOVE that. Might even make up for the Iranian and Ukranian bucks.

If they try it, no worries. The revolution will start long before that.
Tickets to the guillotine sessions will be rare and expensive.

The only way around it will be if the smart people (e.g, NOT social science/politics/studies cretins) get fusion working.

Of course, there’s always gun confiscation in the dimbulb’s hope chest. If they try that, see the first couple of sentences above.
