Climate Leaders Live: The Inflation Reduction Act

From Climate Solutions:

The IRA will slash climate pollution and dramatically accelerate our shift to a clean energy economy. The clean energy investments in this bill are an enormous step forward—game changing. And it was able to happen because we broke through a fog of political pollution and what seemed to be insurmountable, dino-sized roadblocks. But we also need to acknowledge that it also includes giveaways to the fossil fuel industry that’s creating the crisis we’re in, and would lead to continued and new harms to communities on the front lines of environmental degradation—particularly in the Arctic and Gulf Coast.  Join Climate Solutions’ Communications Director Kimberly Larson for a moderated conversation with Matthew Davis (Senior Director of Governmental Affairs for the National League of Conservation Voters) and Quentin Scott (Federal Campaigns Director for the Chesapeake Climate Action Network) as we discuss the Inflation Reduction Act’s climate benefits, concessions, and our best path forward.
