What's in the most important climate bill in U.S. history


Listen Later

The massive climate, tax and health care bill that Senate democrats passed over the weekend is expected to go to the House for a vote on Friday. If passed as is, the bill will become the largest climate legislation ever passed by Congress, and will invest roughly $370 billion in renewable energy, electric vehicles and other climate programs.

  • Plus: the Senate’s spending bill leaves states on their own to ease the burden of childcare costs.
  • And: the great Serena Williams’ next chapter.
  • Guests: Axios' Ben Geman and Dana Goldstein, national correspondent at the New York Times.
