Clean energy package would be biggest legislative climate investment in US history

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : His influence is felt in some provisions that promote coal, oil and natural gas -- in a package that is ostensibly poised to incentivize renewable energy like solar and wind.
59% : The congressional action doesn't get Biden all the way to his goal; that will also take increased environmental regulations by federal agencies and action by individual states.
55% : Some groups are wary of Manchin's demands on fossil fuels, including a provision that would mandate leasing public land and water for drilling before any could be used for renewable energy.
53% : King told CNN the group's first-look analysis showed the new deal could "plausibly" hit that goal.
50% : The parts of the new deal that will most directly impact everyday Americans are consumer tax credits that will lower the price tag of energy-efficient appliances and technologies like heat pumps, rooftop solar and electric vehicles.
49% : But the federal investment, if passed, is the grease that would get the cogs turning towards clean energy and emissions reductions.
46% : The importance of the new agreement struck by Schumer and Manchin is how it will incentivize American consumers and businesses to pivot toward clean energy.
