President Biden pledged to rebuild the "backbone of America" yesterday, pitching a massive $2 trillion plan to accelerate his efforts to tackle climate change, including a national clean energy standard and a carbon-free electric grid.
"It's not a plan that tinkers around the edges," Biden said at a union hall in Pittsburgh. "It's a once-in-a-generation investment in America. Unlike anything we've seen or done since we built the Interstate Highway System and the space race decades ago."
