“The Inflation Reduction Act is by far the largest and most consequential legislation we've passed to address the costly climate crisis. It will usher in an era of clean energy innovation that will lower costs, create family-sustaining jobs, and make our communities more resilient. It will reduce our dependence on expensive fossil fuels and clean up our air, as we reduce pollution and move closer to net zero. And it will empower American workers to lead the global clean economy, as we produce more of our energy here in America, bolster our energy independence, and strengthen our domestic manufacturing supply chain,” said Chair Castor.
