New Energy Bill Passes Committee with Bipartisan Support

By Associated Press
Washington —In a rare show of unity, the committee voted today to advance the comprehensive Clean Energy Act. Representatives praised the bill's provisions for modernizing the grid and streamlining permit processes for new development projects across the country.

Critics originally balked at the proposed spending, but a late-night closed-door session produced a compromise that saw widespread approval from both sides of the aisle, securing a path to a highly impactful floor vote later this week.

The Life of a Bill.

HIDDEN VIEWNODE 2

Closed-door meeting

Industry lobbyists meet with key committee members. A rider is attached to the bill to ease environmental regulations for specific construction firms.

THE RESULTNODE 3

Text altered

The final passed bill includes the infrastructure funds, but the deregulations save the lobbying firms billions. The public view remains focused on the infrastructure.
