Senate Votes Against Green Energy

Douglas McIntyre and David Callaway, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, react to the passage of a major Senate bill seen as a crushing blow to the climate movement. Comparing the outcome to a 21–0 baseball loss, they note that climate advocates anticipated setbacks—but the final version delivered even more significant defeats. Green energy initiatives, especially in red states, stand to lose jobs and funding, and investor confidence has been shaken. Yet, despite the harsh outcome, markets show resilience, suggesting that many feared it could have been even worse.
