Voters Support Biden’s Infrastructure Package, Including Its Climate Provisions

Republicans argue green energy investments don't belong in an infrastructure package. Polling shows the public disagrees.
A majority of American voters support President Joe Biden’s landmark infrastructure and jobs plan, including the billions of dollars earmarked for combating climate change and boosting renewable energy, according to a new poll. The survey, from environmental group Climate Power and think tank Data for Progress, comes amid a contentious battle in Washington over infrastructure spending. Biden’s $2 trillion American Jobs Plan, unveiled in March, called for massive federal investments in green energy and electric vehicles to curb planet-altering emissions. But Republicans have firmly opposed the climate provisions and countered with far more modest proposals, with some arguing that renewable energy and clean water investments don’t fit what they’ve declared to be “real” or “traditional” infrastructure.More Related News
