    This bill proposes expanding wind and solar renewable energies in the United States. It aims to reduce dependency on fossil fuels by 50% by 2075 by increasing funding for renewable energy research by $100 million and taxing carbon emissions $20 per ton. It also establishes a 2% energy tax on middle and high income taxpayers to further fund renewable energy research. The bill seeks to increase wind and solar power by 5% by 2020 by allowing offshore wind farms and desert solar farms. It aims to create 46,000 new jobs in renewable energy while maintaining jobs in oil, gas and coal industries during the transition.
