Joe Biden's climate plan includes setting fire to a very large pile of money and what sounds like a 'learn to c*de' provision

Phew. Joe Biden is FINALLY out with his big climate plan:

We are in a climate emergency and we must take drastic action now to address it. So today, I’m announcing my plan for a Clean Energy Revolution and Environmental Justice.https://t.co/FbsOsyQkIo pic.twitter.com/SBDrdiFu2C

And, SURPRISE! It’s not the “centrist” plan liberal critics warned about:

Biden releases his own climate plan. Doesn’t look wildly different from the other candidates’ in broad strokes though I guess he can always claim it’s a “centrist” approach or whatever since he was criticized by the left for so long. https://t.co/VcCFk0kGQU

The Sunrise Movement — remember the creepy video with the kids in Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s office? Those people — are even claiming that they pushed Biden to the left:

Last month, we put the national spotlight on @JoeBiden's advisers talking about a "middle ground" climate plan that included more fossil fuel development.

We forced them to backtrack and today, he put out a comprehensive climate plan that praises the #GreenNewDeal.

One large spending item to highlight, however, is Biden’s desire to light a big pile of money on fire and call it high-speed rail:

And this sounds like a “learn to code” provision for coal miners and such:
