Unanimous Consent Request--S. Res. 557 (Executive Calendar)

Senator Whitehouse asked unanimous consent for the Senate to immediately take up and approve S. Res. 557, a resolution related to climate change, without further committee action or debate. Senator Moreno objected, arguing that Democratic climate policies raise costs for working Americans, subsidize electric vehicles for the wealthy, and benefit China, which he called the world’s biggest polluter, while American drivers and businesses take the blame and pollution from Canada’s wildfires goes unaddressed. Whitehouse said he also had objections to parts of the Inflation Reduction Act but that fossil fuel emissions cause real harm and the Senate should act on climate change. The request was not agreed to.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
