AI Summary

Specifically, it establishes a 2030 emissions limit of at least 50% below 1990 levels and a 2040 emissions limit of at least 75% below 1990 levels. The bill also requires the Secretary to develop a 2050 emissions reduction plan that details the actions and methods for achieving the 2030, 2040, and 2050 emissions limits.
