As per senior government officials, out of $1.75 trillion, it is expected that $555 billion is a dedicated investment for clean energy sources. If this is the case, then this would be the most significant investment the United States has ever spent on the climate.
However, the remaining expenditure is expected to be for agriculture, industrial development, transportation, electricity, and buildings. This new package is a negotiated deal between Senate democratic and progressive lawmakers.
