President Joe Biden‘s ambitious plan to slash greenhouse emissions by 50 to 52 percent over the next decade could prompt sweeping changes that could affect how Americans eat, drive and heat their homes.
Biden announced the goal to cut emissions by 2030, compared with 2005 levels, at the start of a two-day climate summit on Thursday.
He vowed the plan, which would set the US on a path of a zero emissions economy by no later than 2050, would create jobs and boost economies.
But he is yet to release any firm details on exactly how such a plan will affect the daily lives of ordinary Americans.
He also hasn’t set out the price for reducing emissions.
The plan immediately sparked criticism from Republicans and industry experts who argue it isn’t sustainable in the long run, will put jobs at risk and cause tax hikes for Americans.
While Biden hasn’t released details on what life could look like for Americans, experts and recent studies have laid out what would need to change by 2030 to reach the goal.
