Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Along with Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar, he has introduced a bill that would require the Environmental Protection Agency to update its greenhouse gas modeling to use the Argonne National Lab's GREET Model, which is used to evaluate the lifecycle of emissions.
56% : The overwhelming approval of the bill, which was backed by 166 Democrats, indicates just how much the needle has shifted toward embracing nuclear power as a means of carbon-free power generation.
55% : The potential successors: The potential successors to McConnell echo many of his views regarding protecting fossil fuel industries and his rhetoric blasting Democrats for their environmental agenda.
50% : Energy Department officials are pushing for Treasury to relax its proposed guidance on hydrogen tax credits, citing concerns that the draft rules are too stringent and do not allow industry enough time to embark and fund the massive, costly expansion.
46% : Furthermore, the senator hasn't strayed away from the topic of climate change and reducing carbon emissions.
23% : Notably, during the Obama administration, McConnell and his staff worked to help governors block the Environmental Protection Agency's rules requiring states to reduce carbon emissions from coal-powered power plants.
