Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign early Tuesday laid out the framework of a clean energy plan he said will deliver on his goal of a “100 percent clean energy economy and net-zero emissions” by 2050.Under his plan, Biden would sign executive orders that would “go well beyond” the Obama-Biden administration’s goals and would demand that Congress enact legislation in the first year of his presidency that would enforce target goals and spend federal dollars on clean energy and climate research.He would also create incentives for the “deployment of clean energy innovations across the economy, especially in communities most impacted by climate change.”Biden’s campaign says his plan would spend $1.7 trillion over 10 years to leverage private sector and state and local investments to total more than $5 trillion. The campaign said the plan would create domestic jobs.The campaign said his plan will be paid for by rolling back President Donald Trump’s corporate tax cut, “reducing incentives for tax havens, evasion and outsourcing,” closing other unspecified tax loopholes and ending subsidies for fossil fuels.Biden on Tuesday will make his second visit to New Hampshire since declaring his candidacy for president. He plans an afternoon visit to Berlin to speak to voters at the city’s auditorium and an evening stop at the headquarters of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 490 in Concord.His campaign Tuesday added a third stop -- the Plymouth Area Renewable Energy Initiative, a nonprofit organization focused on promoting conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy in the region.An outline of the plan says that Biden will make “smart infrastructure investments” to ensure that the energy system as well as roads, bridges and buildings “can withstand the impacts of climate change.” He would have the United States rejoin the Paris Climate Accord and encourage other major nations to ramp up their efforts to address climate change. Domestic fossil fuel companies that “knowingly harm our environment” would be targeted to ensure that communities from “Flint, Michigan to Harlan, Kentucky, to the New Hampshire Seacoast have access to clean, safe drinking water.”Biden has promised not to take contributions from oil, natural gas and coal corporations or their executives.Biden's campaign released a video of Biden explaining his plan.
