Democrats ready vote on sweeping climate bill

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Senate Democrats say their plan to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on clean energy -- through tax credits and grants for wind, solar, biofuels, carbon capture, hydrogen, electric vehicles and sustainable aviation fuel -- will put the US on track to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 40pc by 2030, relative to 2005 levels.
54% : Other climate spending in the bill includes $30bn in grants and loans for states and electric utilities to transition to clean energy, $10bn in tax credits to build clean energy manufacturing plants, $6bn in grants and tax credits to cut emissions from industrial plants, and $3bn for the US Postal Service to buy zero-emission vehicles.
51% : The bill would give the US Environmental Protection Agency more than $1.5bn to deliver in grants and loans to help the oil and gas sector monitor and cut down down on methane leaks.
44% : Biden on 27 July backed the "historic" legislation as a way to fight climate change, paid for by requiring corporations to pay their "fair share" of taxes.
