Los dem\u00f3cratas estadounidenses en el Gobierno quieren invertir 500.000 millones de d\u00f3lares en infraestructuras y electrificaci\u00f3n del transporte p\u00fablico en los pr\u00f3ximos diez a\u00f1os. La congresista Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez y la senadora Elizabeth Warren redactaron la 'Ley BUILD Verde y de Empleo'.<\/p>\n
La versi\u00f3n ampliada, denominada \"Ley de Mejor Utilizaci\u00f3n de las Inversiones para Impulsar el Desarrollo y Generar Energ\u00eda Renovable para Electrificar las Infraestructuras y los Empleos (Verdes) de la Naci\u00f3n\", incluye $500.000 millones en subvenciones durante la pr\u00f3xima d\u00e9cada para electrificar el transporte p\u00fablico, incluidos los sistemas ferroviarios, los autobuses y los veh\u00edculos de la flota.<\/p>\n
Al menos $150.000 millones se destinar\u00edan a los ra\u00edles y veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos y a los equipos de recarga de veh\u00edculos. \"Electrificar nuestros coches, autobuses y trenes es un pilar central del Nuevo Pacto Verde\", dijo el representante Levin, que tambi\u00e9n se encuentra entre los impulsores del nuevo proyecto de ley. Ocasio-Cortez, en un comunicado, a\u00f1adi\u00f3: \"La Ley BUILD Green aplica muchos de los objetivos de transporte de la resoluci\u00f3n Green New Deal a las subvenciones concedidas por el DOT\".<\/p>\n
En detalle, la Ley BUILD Green cubrir\u00eda hasta 85% de los costes de los proyectos estatales, locales y tribales, con la opci\u00f3n de que el Secretario de Transporte cubra 100% de los costes. Adem\u00e1s, 40% de toda la financiaci\u00f3n se dedicar\u00e1n a proyectos en comunidades de primera l\u00ednea, vulnerables y desfavorecidas para \"corregir d\u00e9cadas de disparidades sanitarias e injusticia medioambiental\", reza el comunicado.<\/p>\n
El Departamento de Transporte (DOT) seleccionar\u00eda a los beneficiarios en funci\u00f3n de \"la medida en que un proyecto elegible contribuya a la resiliencia y la mitigaci\u00f3n clim\u00e1ticas, y reduzca la contaminaci\u00f3n atmosf\u00e9rica, los t\u00f3xicos atmosf\u00e9ricos y las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero\" y de cu\u00e1nta energ\u00eda ahorre en comparaci\u00f3n con otros solicitantes.<\/p>\n
Tambi\u00e9n se pide que los proyectos elegibles que utilicen electricidad tengan que a\u00f1adir la generaci\u00f3n de energ\u00eda renovable para cubrir la energ\u00eda que consumen.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The initiators estimate the Act will reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 21.5 million metric tons of CO2 annually or the equivalent of taking 4.5 million combustion engine cars off the road.<\/p>\n
They also hope to create up to one million “good new jobs with strong labour protections,” including a minimum wage of 15$ per hour or pay greater than the prevailing wage rate. There are also demands on no less than 12 workweeks of paid leave and fair scheduling policies and a local hiring preference. The latter approach is also in line with the “Buy American” Directive by the Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n
The Biden-Harris administration had introduced the CLEAN Future Act<\/a> at the beginning of March. It will see the US government unleash billions of dollars every year until 2030 to help decarbonise road transport, including private and government fleets.<\/p>\n The advances also follow one of President Biden’s first executive orders in which he had called on all agencies to come forward with decarbonisation proposals.\u00a0Announced at the end of January<\/a>\u00a0it included that all of the\u00a0government\u2019s approximately 645,000 vehicles would be replaced by electric vehicles<\/a>\u00a0and that a\u00a0supply chain analysis would be undertaken for battery resources<\/a>.<\/p>\n The BUILD Green Act has found support from environmental organisations such as 350.org, Friends of the Earth, Zero Hour, or Greenpeace, among others such as GreenLatinos or the League of Conversation Voters.<\/p>\n A Data for Progress survey of likely voters found 57 per cent in favour of the BUILD Green plan.<\/p>\n Initiators Senators Elizabeth Warren and Edward J. Markey and Representatives Andy Levin and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez must now build support and introduce the BUILD Green and Jobs Act in the House and Senate. From there it is a way through Committees before the bill may eventually be put in front of the full chamber to vote.<\/p>\n warren.senate.gov<\/a> (Summary of the Act), senate.gov<\/a> (PI), thehill.com<\/a><\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=151808"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151808\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/141855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=151808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=151808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=151808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
