Congressman Huffman Says Build Back Better Bill Needs To Pass With Infrastructure Bill For The Climate

November 12, 2021

Congressman Jared Huffman is speaking out regarding the infrastructure bill. In Glasgow, the North Bay Congressman told Yahoo News that the infrastructure bill to be signed on Monday by President Biden will worsen climate change unless the accompanying Build Back Better bill is passed as well. Huffman compared the infrastructure bill to the infrastructure bill of the 1980’s “with some crumbs for electric vehicle charging mixed in with gray hydrogen.” He said passing the Build Back Better bill would be better for the environment, saying it would devote tens of billions of dollars to subsidize switching to electric cars. However, that bill has hit a road block in the Senate.
