With Biden at the helm, the Democrats have proposed a massive package of clean energy investments and incentives as part of their “Build Back Better Act,” also known as the reconciliation bill. If passed, it will spur the transition to renewable energy in all sectors of the economy and in our lives, giving us a chance to make some inroads into rising earth temperatures. Whether this approach is better or worse than a carbon tax is debatable, but it is the approach that is on the table and we are unlikely to get another any time soon. Think about that, Senator Collins. ~ Joe Hardy, Wells
