Climate change initiatives were spread out across different components of Build Back Better (BBB). However, the latest $1.75 trillion legislation that was part of BBB, and was being negotiated in the Senate, includes a much larger investment in climate change policies, with a $555B package that consisted of a variety of different tax credits, grants and other policies that attempt to lower greenhouse gas emissions. 

The bill proposed tax credits for consumers who bought an electric vehicle, lowered costs for installing solar panels in homes, and incentives for businesses to manufacture clean energy technology, like solar panels and wind turbines. It also addressed driving industry away from fossil fuel manufacturing by allowing the steel, cement and aluminum industries to become eligible for certain government loans, tax credits and procurement. 

If passed and signed into law, it would have been the largest clean energy investment in U.S. history.

Months ago, in the quiet, eagle-bedecked confines of his office on Capitol Hill, Senator Joe Manchin, the West Virginia Democrat, sketched out a social-policy bill not unlike the Build Back Better proposal that he torpedoed on Sunday, in a rebuke to his party, his President, and millions of people in his state. It was still in the early blush of the Democrats’ control of Congress and the White House, and the Party was pursuing an all-in-one proposal that would bundle the repair of bridges and roads with expansions of child care and other social services. Dangling the appeal of his pivotal vote, Manchin encouraged the Biden Administration to split the bill into smaller parts. “I’m saying we can get an infrastructure deal—a traditional infrastructure deal,” he told me, in May. “Then we come back on human infrastructure and look at the needs.”

But Manchin’s definition of Americans’ “needs” was always the problem. Even after his party split the bills, and after it spent many torturous months wheedling and flattering and acceding to his cuts, Manchin never budged from an unreconstructed conservative talking point: give Americans too much help, such as extended unemployment insurance, and they will be indolent and dependent.
