And like Biden, Buttigieg says he will use the power of American diplomacy and leadership to influence other countries to meet global climate goals and restore America’s “damaged” credibility internationally.
Mayor Pete’s proposed timeline: Double clean electricity use by 2025. Get to zero emissions from passenger vehicles and electricity generation by 2035. And achieve fully net-zero emissions in the U.S. by 2050. He’s also promised to quadruple federal clean energy research and development funding to $25 billion per year by 2025.California Senator Kamala Harris was one of the last to release her plan, which dropped early Wednesday morning.
