A 2 trillion dollar investment to accelerate the climate plan. This investment will be majorly building the foundation for economic growth in a sustainable way. These projects are to create a domino effect to create mass job opportunities that will help citizen to improve their economic level. The authority set as an example to the citizen for this movement of sustainable transition, such as 654,000 federal fleets will be electric vehicles.
In addition, studies find that cutting greenhouse gas emissions would save tens of millions of lives worldwide. However, such initiatives such as planting tons of trees aren't enough to solve climate change, with "everything in this world should be in moderate" in mind, therefore, there should be a balance of the number of trees to restore and putting regulation on heavy carbon industries for industry players to innovate their process/product to be more sustainable.
The country doesn't set time for a complete transition to electric vehicles, but let these initiatives as an example for the market to decide and with hope to catalyst the social acceptance towards the electric vehicle.
