VP Harris pitching U.S. climate action in NY as COP26 gets underway

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Homes and businesses make up one of the largest sources of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, and shifting from gas-fired systems to heat pumps that can run on renewable power is seen as a key step to meeting long-term U.S. climate goals.
54% : Harris also plans to meet with New York state officials and union leaders to emphasize the need for jobs in offshore wind and other renewable energy projects to be unionized.
45% : "But we're confident that the Supreme Court will confirm what those [courts] have before them, which is, EPA has not just the right but the authority and responsibility to keep our families and communities safe from pollution."
44% : Yet in the past, renewable energy jobs have been lower paying and less likely to be unionized than those in fossil fuels.
36% : In another potential obstacle for the Biden administration, as the president headed to Europe late last week the Supreme Court said it would consider whether the Environmental Protection Agency has gone beyond its authority by attempting to limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.
