| "Given that energy policy experts have called for transitioning as quickly as possible to a completely renewable energy system, critics warn that investments of the kind included in the bipartisan infrastructure bill could exacerbate coal, gas, and oil extraction, condemning vulnerable populations and future generations to the most catastrophic effects of the climate emergency." | Positive | 4% Conservative |
| "The irony, as the news outlet pointed out, is that long-shot, industry-supported 'climate' projects and the rapid scale-up of renewable energy sources already proven to meaningfully slow down the spiraling climate crisis both depend on government subsidies." | Negative | -14% Liberal |
| "Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) -- the same lawmaker who has made more than $4.5 million from his family's coal business since joining the Senate in 2010 and received praise from an ExxonMobil lobbyist for weakening the climate provisions in President Joe Biden's infrastructure proposal -- is the chief architect of the energy-related measures in the bipartisan infrastructure bill." | Positive | 8% Conservative |
| "We will never be able to meet the Paris agreement if we fund these kind of programs, Jim Walsh, senior policy analyst at Food & Water Watch, told The Intercept, referring to the international climate accord that seeks to limit global temperature rise this century to 1.5u00b0C above preindustrial levels by cutting the emission of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in half by 2030 on the way to net-zero by 2050." | Negative | -2% Liberal |
