With a climate denier occupying the White House and a Republican Senate enabling his worst impulses, it makes sense that climate activists have been focused on pushing the herd of 2020 Democratic candidates toward bold climate policies.
President Trump appears willing to work out a deal on infrastructure with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who would be wise to leverage this gesture to their advantage. They should insist that any plan to rebuild our national infrastructure do so with climate change in mind.
The bill proposes dedicating tens of billions of dollars to rebuilding the electric grid to make it smarter, more efficient and more secure. It would provide subsidies to retrofit homes and schools to make them more energy efficient and safer, while encouraging innovation in clean energy development.
A number of Republicans have recently come around to the reality that climate denial is no longer a politically viable position. Unfortunately, while some in the GOP are taking baby steps towards producing their own plans, too many of them still traffic in the fantasy that we can continue to burn fossil fuels with impunity.
Laurie_David MichaelEMann There won’t be a bipartisan infrastructure plan. Today’s meeting between Donald and Pelosi proved that. The Republicans are going to watch our world burn. Including their own progeny.
