In a rare show of bipartisanship, the Senate passed a landmark climate bill that aims to reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2030. The bill includes substantial investments in renewable energy and tax incentives for green technology.
The legislation, which passed by a vote of 68-32, represents the most significant action on climate change in U.S. history. Supporters say it will create millions of jobs in the clean energy sector while addressing the urgent threat of climate change.
The bill now moves to the House, where it is expected to face more opposition but still likely to pass. If signed into law, it would mark a major victory for the Biden administration and environmental advocates.
