$1.5 Trillion for Federal Green Procurement and High Labor Standards.
This Act establishes a $1.5 trillion Clean Energy Fund to mandate and finance the massive procurement of clean energy products and low-carbon materials by federal, state, and local governments. The goal is to rapidly transition to sustainable infrastructure, such as replacing the entire federal vehicle fleet with zero-emission models and constructing green federal buildings. Citizens benefit from significant environmental improvements, job creation tied to strong labor protections (including a $17/hour minimum wage and paid family leave), and targeted investments in disadvantaged communities.
Key points
Massive Investment: Authorizes $1.5 trillion (2026-2035) for public investments in clean power, energy-efficient products, and low-carbon materials across all levels of government.
Zero-Emission Mandate: Requires the replacement of the entire Federal vehicle fleet with zero-emission vehicles by the end of fiscal year 2033.
Worker Protections: Companies receiving funds must adhere to strict labor requirements, including a minimum wage starting at $17.00/hour, 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave, fair scheduling policies, and neutrality towards union organizing.
