The Biden proposals
Much of the $2.3 trillion AJP investment would go toward modernize U.S. highways, roads, bridges, trains, buses, stations and airports. It would also retool U.S. manufacturing to build zero emission transportation infrastructure like zero emission vehicle fueling and charging stations. Analysts estimate around $200 billion would go to the energy transition and power system transformation. The proposal would also transition U.S. buildings away from fossil fuel heating and make them more energy efficient.
Biden s plan includes a limited tax credit to speed near-term transmission development and new Department of Energy authority would streamline longer-term transmission expansion.

Over the past number of weeks, a variety of legislative proposals, from both sides of the aisle, have been released that, if enacted, could drastically impact the US energy industry and, in many cases, the taxation of energy in the United States. These proposals come on the heels of the Biden administration’s
American Jobs Plan and Made in America Tax Plan. Legislative proposals related to energy continue to be released at a rapid pace, and below we highlight certain features from several recent proposals.
Clean Energy for America Act, which was released on April 21, 2021, by Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden (D-OR) and 24 colleagues, would overhaul the federal energy tax code.

The ultimate measure of the Summit’s success will only become clear later this year, at the COP26 conference scheduled for November in Glasgow. The Biden administration has been in office fewer than 100 days, and diplomacy takes time; some of the administration’s efforts will undoubtedly only bear fruit in the coming months. Nonetheless, the Summit is a critical first milestone for a president who has pledged to make climate change a top priority. Here’s what to expect from the Summit – and what we are looking for.
The first 100 days of U.S. President Biden’s administration saw a flurry of new action and commitments on climate. He quickly rejoined the Paris Agreement, activated agencies across the federal government to be part of the climate change solution, and proposed a once-in-a-generation $2 trillion investment in infrastructure and jobs for the clean energy economy.
The latest milestone is a new national climate commitment under the Paris Agreement (known as a Nationally Determined Contribution, or NDC), pledging to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 50-52% from 2005 levels by 2030. This commitment is significantly higher than the previous U.S. pledge to cut emissions 26-28% by 2025.
