Main Points:

– The post discusses the shift in focus from the “Green New Deal” during the Biden era to other priorities under the second Trump era.
– No specific “Green New Deal” legislation has been passed or is close to being passed.
– Two significant pieces of legislation, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Build Back Better Act, have aspects that align with the goals of the Green New Deal.

Author’s Take:

While specific legislation bearing that name has not materialized, elements of sustainability and green initiatives are present in current legislative proposals. The evolution in priorities underscores the ongoing debate and shifting landscape of environmental policies in the political arena.
