Senate set to vote on bipartisan affordability bill within two weeks

Senate leaders plan an initial vote on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act in the next fourteen days. The legislation is projected to cut U.S. carbon emissions by about 1.8 gigatons by 2041 and lower electricity‑system costs by roughly 3.5 % to 7 % compared with a baseline without the bill. Environmental groups and some Senate Democrats have voiced concerns about the bill’s impact on fossil‑fuel projects and future presidential authority.
