The Green New Deal has been a hot topic in the political world since the 2018 midterm elections, built around an agenda to transform American energy and infrastructure while addressing employment, social, and environmental issues.
In February, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen Ed Markey (D-Mass.) introduced a resolution aimed at recognizing “the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New Deal“. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has said there will be a vote on the nonbinding resolution.
