Democrats’ massive $1.7 trillion government funding bill<\/a> sets aside billions of dollars for various federal agencies to spend on “environmental justice” and climate initiatives.<\/p>\n

The omnibus package<\/a> \u2014 which includes $800 billion in non-defense funding, the largest amount ever devoted to non-defense programs \u2014 earmarks $15.3 billion to tackle the “climate crisis” by investing in clean energy development and securing domestic energy supply chains, according to House Democrats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Overall, the legislation would boost environmental enforcement efforts<\/a>, renewable energy investments, environmental justice programs and increase U.S. “leadership in the global fight against climate change.”<\/p>\n

“This bipartisan government funding bill furthers House Democrats\u2019 commitment to increasing federal investments in the programs and services that lower the cost of living for hardworking families, create better-paying jobs, keep our nation and communities safe, and protect our environment,” Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., the chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee, said in a statement earlier this week.<\/p>\n

The 4,155-page legislation was released Tuesday and, since then, lawmakers have scrambled to advance it to avert a government shutdown. The current funding for the federal government is set to expire at midnight on Friday.<\/p>\n

“This omnibus is the product of a failed process,”\u00a0Rep. Bruce Westerman, R-Ark., told Fox News Digital.\u00a0“Yet again, this massive annual government funding bill is months late, thousands of pages long, full of unvetted policy issues that should not be in a funding bill, and greased with special interest deals.”<\/p>\n

“I consider it an honor to vote against such garbage, and my focus will continue being to change the process and produce a better product in the future,” Westerman, who is the ranking member of the House Natural Resources Committee, continued.<\/p>\n

The bill, which Republicans have blasted for its high price tag and funding for a wide range of programs, gives the Environmental Protection Agency<\/a> $10.1 billion to develop “common-sense” standards for curbing pollution and $4.1 billion for core science and environmental program work.<\/p>\n

It also gives $108 million for “environmental justice” activities in “historically underserved communities overburdened by disproportionate levels of pollution.” The program is intended to foster equity, according to a Democratic summary of the provision.<\/p>\n

In addition, $3.5 billion is given to energy efficiency programs<\/a>, $8.1 billion is earmarked for “energy innovation” and another $470 million is set to be invested in “high-potential, high-impact” energy technologies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The bill also gives $2 billion to the Department of Defense to invest in clean energy<\/a> and climate adaptation to “protect facilities, readiness, and global security.”<\/p>\n

“This omnibus funds all manner of fantasy climate ideology – a dream come true for far-left members like [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.] who constantly whine about ‘climate change’ and ‘environmental justice,'” Rep. Chip Roy’s, R-Texas, office tweeted on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
