The key policies and programs in this program should include the following:

Just Transition

Enact a Just Transition program that guarantees that workers and communities affected by the transition to clean energy are kept whole during the transition.

The Just Transition program will guarantee workers up to five years of their current wages and benefits, or a good pension for early retirement for those who choose it or can no longer work.

Communities that lose tax revenues due the closure of power and manufacturing plants will receive equal revenues until new Green New Deal plants make up the loss.
