A group of 89 House Democrats asked President Joe Biden to renew efforts to address the purported “climate crisis” after the failure to pass the $1.85 trillion Build Back Better Act (BBB) in December.
The BBB would have appropriated $555 billion for climate policy, and would have funded things such as tax incentives for electric vehicles, a national network of electric vehicle charging stations, and a New Deal-like agency called the Civilian Climate Corps.
