Biden wants a Green New Deal

 So much for his supposed neoliberal love for fossil fuel companies. See his plan here. From this piece:

"Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden believes that a 'Green New Deal' is 'a crucial framework for meeting the climate challenges we face,' and many elements of his $2 trillion climate plan mirror the controversial proposal. [...] The proposal is clearly influenced by Biden's more progressive 2020 challengers, particularly Washington governor Jay Inslee (D.), who ran on a climate-focused platform. It also broadly mirrors the recommendations of the climate section of the Biden-Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) unity task force, co-chaired by former secretary of state John Kerry and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.)."
