Given the widespread agreement in the U.S. Senate for House passed climate provisions, we have an opportunity to recommence negotiations with climate serving as a key starting point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Democrats turned to Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/state-of-the-union-2022\/\">State of the Union<\/a> address, where he called on Congress to pass tax credits for weatherizing homes and businesses, building more wind and solar energy sources, and lowering the cost of electric cars, investments he claimed would save the average family around $500 annually.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats wrote that they were \u201cencouraged to hear\u201d Biden\u2019s recommendations, and said that with Biden\u2019s backing, the billions in climate spending \u201cwould mark the largest climate investment in our nation\u2019s history, setting the United States on course to meet our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2021\/04\/22\/fact-sheet-president-biden-sets-2030-greenhouse-gas-pollution-reduction-target-aimed-at-creating-good-paying-union-jobs-and-securing-u-s-leadership-on-clean-energy-technologies\/\">50-52% greenhouse gas emissions<\/a> reduction targets by 2030, while creating millions of good paying union jobs, reducing energy costs for consumers, advancing environmental justice, investing in climate resilient housing and community infrastructure, and strengthening our economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is clear that climate change is a threat multiplier to our economy,\u201d the Democrats wrote, citing recent natural disasters like the California <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/lake-tahoe-evacuations-ordered-as-caldor-fire-spreads\">wildfires<\/a>, and claiming that the effects of those disasters \u201cdisproportionately impact communities of color.\u201d \u201cResponding now will protect American families and businesses against the most devastating financial impacts. But the longer we wait, the more expensive it will be to transition at the speed required, and we will have incurred billions in damages and harm to our communities, infrastructure, environment, and public health and safety along the way,\u201d The Democrats wrote. \u201cRestarting negotiations with climate action is a clear path forward to deliver tangible results to the American people. Your leadership in these negotiations will ensure that we can pass on a safe, healthy, and vibrant society and planet to our children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Democrats previously called for Biden to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/report-biden-expected-to-double-down-on-climate-spending-in-sotu\">revive climate spending<\/a> in a joint statement from the leaders of several prominent House Democratic Caucuses on March 1, hours before Biden delivered his State of the Union speech. But the negotiations are unlikely to go anywhere, as moderate Democratic West Virginia Senator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/manchin-shrugs-off-build-back-better-revival-knocks-bidens-plan-to-lower-inflation-with-more-spending\">Joe Manchin<\/a> put any attempt to revive the spending on ice. \u201cThey just can\u2019t help themselves,\u201d Manchin told reporters after the speech. adding that \u201c[nothing\u2019s] changed.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve never found out that you can lower costs by spending more,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
