The likely price tag for climate programs included in the bill is likely to fall somewhere between $500 billion and $555 billion, Axios previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/biden-spending-plan-500-billion-climate-167e44d7-3571-4a49-84dd-f70045449028.html\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore than $500 billion over 10 years. Just to put that in perspective, the entire Department of Energy over the next 10 years is going to spend $450 billion,\u201d Klain said during his remarks, according to The Hill. \u201cWe\u2019re talking about an investment in climate change larger than the entire Department of Energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just now have to go get that done,\u201d he continued. \u201cI think we\u2019re making a lot of progress in that regard.\u201d <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/10\/26\/united-nations-climate-conference-unilever-sponsor-plastic-pollution\/\">(RELATED: UN Climate Conference Sponsor Unilever Is Among World\u2019s Biggest Plastics Polluters: REPORT)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7309871\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"33\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7309871\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">President Joe Biden shakes hands with White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain alongside Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm on June 30.

Joe Manchin, though, recently <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/10\/18\/sean-casten-west-virginia-irrelevant-joe-manchin-green-energy\/\">pushed back<\/a> on central parts of the bill\u2019s climate agenda, including the $150 billion <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/10\/16\/green-new-deal-handouts-subsidies-democrats-joe-biden-budget-energy-climate-change\/\">Clean Electricity Performance Program (CEPP)<\/a>. He and fellow Democratic Sen. Jon Tester of Montana also <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/10\/19\/joe-manchin-climate-change-carbon-tax-democrats-budget\/\">said<\/a> they wouldn\u2019t support a carbon tax.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin, who chairs the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, will play a large role in determining which programs receive the funds, according to Axios. The budget is expected to include expanded grants and loans to guide industrial decarbonization, credits for solar and wind developers, credits for the auto industry and incentives for commercial solar providers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will be, just as a matter of fact, the biggest climate bill in human history,\u201d Democratic Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz told Axios. \u201cAt least half a trillion dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schatz added that the legislation would give the U.S. more credibility at the upcoming United Nations climate conference in Scotland. President Joe Biden and 12 cabinet officials will head to the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/10\/26\/united-nations-paris-climate-agreement-failure\/\">conference<\/a>, the largest of its kind since the UN\u2019s 2015 summit in Paris, to participate in talks that world leaders hope will lead to ambitious emissions commitments.<\/p>\n<p>Content created by The Daily Caller News Foundation is available without charge to any eligible news publisher that can provide a large audience.
