He will launch a national effort aimed at creating the jobs we need to build a modern, sustainable infrastructure now and deliver an equitable clean energy future. Joe Biden’s Build Back Better plan ensures that – coming out of this profound public health and economic crisis, and facing the persistent climate crisis – we are never caught flat-footed again. His actions have not only set us back in terms of progress on environmental justice and clean energy jobs, they have made us more vulnerable – weaker and less resilient – as a nation.

He has held back American workers from leading the world on clean energy, giving China and other countries a free pass to outcompete us in key technologies and the jobs that come with them. He has allowed our infrastructure to deteriorate and farmers’ fields to flood. Just as with COVID-19, Donald Trump has denied science and failed to step up in the face of the climate crisis. And as the crisis accelerated, Trump rolled back environmental standards that protect public health - adding to the 100 similar environmental and public health protections he has rolled back since taking office - even though early data suggests a link between exposure to pollution and serious negative health impacts from the virus. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, he ignored public health experts, praised the Chinese government, and failed to take the actions needed to protect the American people. President Trump has a devastating pattern of denying science and leaving our country unprepared and vulnerable. Joe Biden will seize that opportunity and, in the process, create millions of good-paying jobs that provide workers with the choice to join a union and bargain collectively with their employers. At this moment of profound crisis, we have the opportunity to build a more resilient, sustainable economy – one that will put the United States on an irreversible path to achieve net-zero emissions, economy-wide, by no later than 2050.
