Combat

 Guardian UK: Biden plan pledges ‘largest effort to combat climate change in US history’ - Hundreds of billions to be given to clean energy, electric vehicles and flood defenses, officials say – but some key parts left out by Oliver Milman

This proposed framework includes $555bn in incentives, investments and tax credits aimed at bolstering the deployment of renewable energy such as solar and wind, as well as a tax break that will deliver up to $12,500 to people who buy an electric car. The bill will help deploy new electric buses and trucks, build community resilience to disastrous wildfires and floods and employ 300,000 people in a new “civilian climate corps”.
