In a historic vote that surprised political observers, the Senate passed the Clean Energy Future Act with a 67-33 margin, including support from 15 Republican senators.
The legislation, which had been stalled for months due to partisan gridlock, includes $370 billion in funding for renewable energy projects, electric vehicle infrastructure, and carbon capture technology.
Key provisions of the bill include tax incentives for clean energy companies, funding for research and development of new technologies, and grants for states to implement climate-friendly policies.
The bill now moves to the House of Representatives, where it faces an uncertain future despite the bipartisan Senate support. House leadership has indicated they will bring the bill to a vote before the end of the current session.
