"The Senate is set to take a procedural vote on the Green New Deal as soon as tomorrow [Tuesday], a widely anticipated event that will inevitably come with partisan fireworks.
It will cap weeks of unusually intense debate about climate change on the Senate floor, and the long-term political fallout could help determine where policy on the issue ultimately lands in the coming years.
The resolution has revitalized the climate debate. It's now rare to see a discussion of climate policy without mention of the Green New Deal. It's now also unusual for Democrats to discuss their agenda and not touch on global warming."
Nick Sobczyk and Geof Koss report for E&E Daily March 25, 2019.
