The project found an average yearly savings of $67 billion for households, businesses, and industry, shifting costs through cost savings from lower energy bills, less expensive EVs and heat pumps, and finance investments, 

We’re not just talking about abstract estimates here. The Sierra Club has analyzed the real-world benefits of this investment package. They include: 

• Install 200,000 EV charging stations across the country
• Convert tens of thousands of diesel school buses to clean electric buses so schoolchildren can breathe clean air
• Help the average family save about hundreds of dollars each year in utility bills
• Help reconnect neighborhoods — primarily in Black and Latinx communities — that have been divided for decades by highways that reinforce systemic racism and spur pollution
• More than double the speed of wind and solar power expansion, bringing renewable energy to millions of additional homes each year
• Support the efforts of more than 200,000 farmers to protect healthy soil so as to increase harvests, reduce the impacts of droughts, and trap more climate pollution
• And so much more! Read a full list here.

Collectively, these unprecedented investments would put us on track to achieve President Biden’s goal of cutting climate pollution in half by 2030 while creating hundreds of thousands of family-sustaining jobs and advancing racial, economic, and environmental justice across the nation.
