GOP to block infrastructure bill over climate requirements

Oregon's Suzanne Bonamici said the investment will pay off and "help us transition to a clean energy economy while creating high quality good paying jobs."

Nevada's Dina Titus said it also helps the environment.

The bill "provides for more efficiencies in highway construction for example, places where you can plug in your electric vehicles," Titus said. "More efficiencies for school construction to make them more heat efficient."

But Republicans oppose the plan which would give more federal dollars to states that do the most to reduce carbon emissions and withhold money from states that don't do enough.
