Beto O'Rourke unveils sweeping, $5 trillion plan to combat what he calls the 'greatest threat' facing the U.S. today: climate change.
Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke unveiled a sweeping, $5 trillion plan on Monday to combat what he calls the"greatest threat" facing the United States today: climate change.
While other plans are likely forthcoming, O'Rourke's is among the first in the Democratic field to take on the issue of climate change with significant federal action, and comes as the party's progressive wing, bolstered by young voters, is continuing to call for candidates to take a more aggressive approach.
"The greatest threat we face — which will test our country, our democracy, every single one of us — is climate change. We have one last chance to unleash the ingenuity and political will of hundreds of millions of Americans to meet this moment before it's too late,” O'Rourke said in a statement released Monday accompanying the plan. The campaign says the proposal aligns with the goals outlined in the"Green New Deal" proposed by New York Rep.
The plan garnered praise from a number of prominent environmental organizations hoping to see climate change rise to the upper echelon of issues as Democrats continue to sort out their crowded and competitive primary. Washington Governor Jay Inslee, another Democrat running for President, has proposed that the Democratic National Committee hold a debate solely focused on climate change, an idea that some in the field, including O'Rourke, have expressed support for.
