Warren’s plan would invest $400 billion over the next ten years to develop and manufacture the revolutionary clean energy technology that the world needs to fight climate change.

Warren will also spur innovation and create demand for American-made clean energy products, such as zero-emission vehicles and energy storage technology, with a $1.5 trillion federal procurement commitment over the next ten years to purchase American-made renewable energy products for federal, state, and local use, and for export.

When combined with Warren’s plans for universal child care, affordable housing, student debt cancellation and free public college, this proposal would transform economic opportunity and quality of life for millions of Americans and Illinoisians.
