Current investment in energy infrastructure is about 2 trillion per year

The green proposal of 131 trillion over 30 years effectively doubles that expenditure. That doesn’t seem all that unreasonable of a number given the early retirement requirements of coal and gas assets.

Nuclear should be included but I don’t quite understand why people seem shocked at the sticker price of replacing all existing fossil fuel plants AND building new power plants to replace gasoline energy. 85% of the total energy being used needs replacing.
