And so read these statements made by Donald Trump almost all made before he was President! Read them and then compare with these statements and most importantly... whose's comments affected Americans directly?

NOW this is not a quote BUT A GOAL by Biden! Think about it! ZERO money for new power plants! Zero!
Look at this google search "Does Biden's new EV investments include building power plants?"
Nothing!
Now here it seems is a very short analysis of the BIGGEST PROBLEM that Biden's plan has and DOESN'T ADDRESS!!!
To provide 50% of all cars being EVs by 2030... $5,117,980,000,000
Where will that money come from? the 129 million American households will have a higher electric bill WHILE having blackouts
reducing the USE of EVS... Right now total electricity generated by USA power plants is 4,165,030,000,000 kWh per year !

This year, Democratic 2020 hopefuls such as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) went much further, suggesting the United States should derive all of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030 as part of a $16.3 trillion plan to wean the nation away from fossil fuels

https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2020/07/30/biden-calls-100-percent-clean-electricity-by-2035-heres-how-far-we-have-go/

So this 80 year old doesn't seem to understand what fossil fuels do other than gasoline!
200 million barrels of oil is used to make 2 billion tires a year. Rid fossil fuels means where are the tires coming from?
1.4 Billion barrels of oil is used for asphalt of which 94% of roads are asphalt.

What "stuff is old and irrelevant"?

This is the plan Biden has presented today. So if you are saying what Biden is offering is "old and irrelevant"... I agree!
