"How The Infrastructure Bill Might Tackle Climate Change" [1]
"The Biden administration is preparing to flip President Obama's climate playbook on its head.
Obama focused his agenda on greenhouse gas regulations, with some investments on the side. President Biden has promised to unveil pollution rules as well — but the heart of his climate plan is a multitrillion-dollar infrastructure package that's taking shape now.
That means Biden's climate legacy could depend on the shape and size of a politically contentious build-out that stands to alter the nation's direction on transportation, energy generation and public lands.
