The Pennsylvania Democrat recalled his time serving as a Hillary Clinton surrogate in 2016, even after he supported Bernie Sanders in the primary.

      Perhaps in your imagination. We’ve passed the largest legislation for climate change ever, plus the CHIPS Act has brought high tech manufacturing and R&D back to the US.

                Problem is it provided more money for climate accelerating things. Like more road infrastructure. Hoping for EV’s but americans are still trending to larger and larger gas guzzling trucks and SUVs.

                Plus opening up new oil and gas extraction leases.

                  What you think is road infrastructure is actually stuff like the $100 million that they are going to spend on developing dependable chargers for EVs. With tax credits and manufacturers wanting to sell new product the EV market should thrive in a few years

                  As far as oil leases go, sometimes you have to give to get a vote. That’s sausage making.

                    Ah sorry i was lumping in the previous infrastructure bill, i forgot there were two. It was $110 billion for road infrastructure.
