Democrats to offer $760B infrastructure plan with big climate theme.

House Democratic leaders are set to roll out their vision for a $760 billion, five-year infrastructure proposal that places a major emphasis on climate change, seizing on an issue that has become a growing concern for their party’s activists and presidential hopefuls.

The framework — coming two years after President Donald Trump’s $1.5 trillion infrastructure plan sank without a trace on the Hill — comprises a hodgepodge of transportation and water legislation that Congress renews periodically, according to details confirmed by POLITICO.

But Democrats are putting a green tint on each element of the proposal, checking boxes on their climate goals while attempting to show that they are steering away from impeachment talk and toward legislating on big issues.

House Transportation Chairman Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) says the plan will be a radical departure from highway-focused transportation bills and will put clean energy and climate "resilience" at the center.

“It's going to be a definitive departure from our last 70 years, since Eisenhower, and it is going to set a path for the 21st century to defossilize transportation, which is the single largest contributor [of greenhouse gas emissions],” DeFazio told reporters Tuesday afternoon.
“We're looking at every sector under my jurisdiction and attempting to meet the goals of the Green New Deal.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to announce the package Wednesday morning after meeting with the House Democratic caucus.

The total price tag of the package was not immediately available, but Democrats are promising a “significantly increased investment” in the portion devoted to highways, rails and transit.

The climate plan, according to DeFazio, will include everything from making federal buildings carbon-neutral to transitioning to renewable fuels for aviation.
He also wants to improve rail and transit options “as a more efficient way to move passengers than short-haul airlines and automobiles” and use more climate-friendly building materials, like concrete with coal ash that “actually absorbs carbon.”

Another waste of time and the Houses' energy. Not to mention our tax dollars if ever signed into law.

Why the dems try to enact legislation that they know Trump will never sign, is anyone's guess, unless they think it will help them get a dem elected for president.

Then they should wait until the next president is elected, and they have a majority in the Senate.

trump FAILED biggly !
He couldn't do it
so
democrats will..

Trump, campaigned in 2016 touting his skills as both a builder and promised $1.5 trillion in infrastructure spending.

“We’re going to rebuild our infrastructure.”

in 2016, Donald Trump made that promise campaigning for president.
That same promise was made again after the election.

and nothing, absolutely nothing, zip, zero..

presidents since 1952 who sought reelection with approval ratings below 50 percent—Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George H. W. Bush—all lost.

that is not good for him..
and-
the women voters despise trump, not good.
