Here’s the good news: Anything that is technically feasible is financially affordable. And it won’t be a drag on the economy ― unlike the climate crisis itself, which will cause tens of billions of dollars worth of damage to American homes, communities and infrastructure each year.

(You don’t have to go back to the original New Deal for evidence of that.)
We can afford to pay for it without raising taxes or destroying businesses. Read the article, it’s worth it.
