"Biden Rolls Out His Infrastructure Plan" From the article, "President Biden on Wednesday is announcing the details of his $2 trillion infrastructure initiative, and it includes hundreds of billions of dollars to fight climate change. Under the plan, roads, bridges and airports would be made more resilient to the effects of more extreme storms, floods and fires wrought by a warming planet. In addition, spending on research and development could help spur breakthroughs in cutt...ing-edge clean technology, while programs to retrofit and weatherize millions of buildings would make them more energy efficient."

More trucks = more roads destroyed. More roads destroyed = a need for higher taxes that impacts lower income communities. A constant cycle that could be fixed through city planning that prioritized sustainable and healthy communities.

The 10 executive actions president-elect #JoeBiden has said he will take on his first day as #president to combat the climate crisis and reduce emissions are: 1) Require limits on methane pollution for oil and gas operations. 2) Use the federal government procurement system to work towards 100% clean energy and zero-emissions vehicles.... 3) Ensure US government buildings and facilities are more efficient and climate-ready. 4) Implement the already-existing Clean Air Act, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation by developing new fuel economy standards to ensure all new sales for light- and medium-duty vehicles will be electrified, and annual improvements for heavy-duty vehicles. 5) Double down on liquid fuels like advanced biofuels and make agriculture a key part of the solution to the climate crisis. 6) Reduce emissions and cut consumer costs through new standards for appliance and building efficiency. 7) Require federal permit decisions to consider effects of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, and ensure every federal infrastructure investment reduces climate pollution. 8) Require public companies to disclose climate risks and greenhouse gas emissions in their operations and supply chains. 9) Protect biodiversity, slow extinction rates and conserve 30% of America's lands and waters by 2030. 10) Permanently protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, establish national parks and monuments, ban new oil and gas permits on public lands and waters, modify royalties to account for climate costs and creating programs to enhance reforestation and develop renewable energy on federal lands and waters to double offshore wind by 2030. #EnvironmentalJustice
