The CounterPunch article below is actually the first draft of an article i was working on. Somehow my software saved two versions of the article under the same title and the first draft was attached by mistake when I submitted it. I had been holding the article until I could also comment on Biden’s April 22 Climate Summit pledge.
This longer version of the article — "Biden’s Climate Pledge Is a Promise He Cannot Keep,” https://solidarity-us.org/bidens_climate_pledge/ <https://solidarity-us.org/bidens_climate_pledge/> — has additional material on the shortcomings of Biden’s climate plan as well as a more focused critique of the bigger 10-year, $10 trillion THRIVE Agenda from liberal environmental groups and progressive Democratic members of Congress. The THRIVE Agenda is like Biden’s plan in that it relies on tax breaks, subsidies, and contracts to incentivize the the private corporate sector rather than an ecosocialist approach emphasizing public planning, utilities, and employment to directly transform the energy system on the rapid timescale needed. — Howie Hawkins > Biden’s Climate Plan: It’s Too Late for Gradualism - CounterPunch.org > From: Louis Proyect > Date: Wed, 02 Jun 2021 10:44:43 EDT > > By Howie Hawkins > > https://www.counterpunch.org/2021/04/28/bidens-climate-plan-its-too-late-for-gradualism/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
