Mega Coronavirus and Government Spending Bill Tackles Climate Change

Steve Baragona

   WASHINGTON - Major climate and clean energy measures are tucked inside
   the package of $1.4 trillion in annual spending to fund the government
   and $900 billion to provide COVID-19 relief approved by Congress late
   Monday.

   It's a rare bit of bipartisan agreement on an issue that has been
   mostly stalled in Congress while global temperatures rise and climate
   change-driven disasters pile up.

   Environmental groups said the initiative is a start, but much more
   needs to be done.
