See that the thing, we’re going to try to capitalise our way out of this, it’s all we know, but, at least at first, is that a bad thing as long as it gets things moving in the right direction?
The clip notes of the bill moving through Congress:
Massive investments in retrofitting homes and buildings to save energy.
Massive investment in the production of wind, solar and other forms of sustainable energy.
A major move toward the electrification of transportation, including generous rebates to enable working families to buy electric vehicles and energy-efficient appliances.
Major investments in greener agriculture.
Major investments in climate resiliency and ecosystem recovery projects.
Major investments in water and environmental justice.
Major investments in research and development for sustainable energy and battery storage.
Billions to address the warming and acidification of oceans and the needs of coastal communities.
The creation of a Civilian Climate Corps which will put hundreds of thousands of young people to work transforming your energy system and protecting your most vulnerable communities.
All a good start but only that, I agree that real transformation will only come when the aim is to move beyond solely making political currency. I’m not even taking part the Report bloc and are allowing their actions to speak louder than words, the fact climate change is being spoken about so broadly shows how far the Republican Party is being left behind.
