“Greener and cleaner” – U.S Speaker promotes climate bill at COP26

US Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi has used her keynote address at Glasgow’s COP-26 climate event to promote the Democrat’s $1.75 trillion climate and social spending bill

Pelosi believes the spending will be America’s “most ambitious and consequential climate and clean energy legislation of all time.”

The comments come just days after both current US President Joe Biden and former President Barak Obama addressed delegates at the climate event.

Pelosi’s address is the latest in a swing of attempts by the Democrats to assert America’s dominance in the climate conversation and show the world that the country is ready to take a leadership role in the global warming battle.

The bill will include $250 billion in clean energy tax credits and over $222 billion for environmental justice.

The speaker says the legislation is “far reaching” and ensures the future economy is “greener and cleaner”
