It saves almost $15 trillion over Comrade Bernie’s plan, but, also seems to have little to do with ‘climate change’

Pete Buttigieg unveils $1.1 trillion climate change plan that would aim to create 3 million clean energy jobs

Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg unveiled a $1.1 trillion climate change plan Wednesday morning, with a goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 and creating over 3 million clean energy and infrastructure jobs in the next decade.

The South Bend, Indiana, mayor’s plan contains three pillars:

1. building a clean economy, comprised of clean energy jobs, strong rural communities, and protection of natural resources
2. investing in disaster relief and prevention in vulnerable communities
3. building America’s role on the international stage in combating climate change.

The climate proposal includes a $200 billion investment over 10 years in clean energy research and development, the creation of a $250 billion Clean Energy Bank to finance innovative technologies, a $250 billion fund matched with $250 billion in private investment with American companies to lead development of green technologies and a $50 billion seed fund for riskier and experimental ideas.

Buttigieg is polling at 4.7% behind rivals Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, according to a RealClearPolitics average. He released his plan ahead of Wednesday night’s “Climate Crisis” town hall, where candidates will each have 40 minutes to explain their climate policies in front of a live audience. Buttigieg is scheduled to be interviewed on his proposal at 10 p.m.

It almost looks like Mayor Pete’s advisors said “you gotta have something, anything, to satisfy the climate cultists”, so they whipped something together just to have something. He doesn’t even deserve his own climate clown graphic yet.

Buttigieg, the only millennial candidate in the presidential race, has also called for the creation of a “U.S. Climate Corps” open to high school graduates dedicated to educating communities and rebuilding infrastructure to make it more resilient to the effects of climate change.

Yay, indoctrination!

What the CNBC article forgot to mention is that Mayor Pete wants to turn the U.S. military into the fighting part of the “Climate Corps”

(CNN) In a new policy proposal released Wednesday morning ahead of a 10-candidate CNN town hall focused on the issue, Buttigieg calls for a Climate Mission Control set up under the Department of Defense, which his campaign said would put the crisis front and center and make it an urgent priority. The plan also creates a new senior climate security role within the department.

The whole thing is rather silly, you get the whole “climate justice”, instituting policies and taxes which make people more reliant on government, and so forth. Just at a lower price tag.
