The 411:
Bidenomics continues to spur both private and public clean energy investments in communities all over the country. But despite the overwhelming success of the IRA, House Republicans continue to bash the president’s landmark climate law. Republican districts have been the largest beneficiaries of the IRA, yet their representatives are pushing forward with major attacks on the law—threatening a government shutdown that would harm their very own constituents. But the reality is that the clean energy transition is happening, whether Republicans want it to or not. From Florida to Michigan, states are taking big strides toward a cleaner future. The U.S. has already seen a rapid increase in clean energy investments—a 37% increase in just the past year—and renewables set to triple by the decade’s end. The Republican shutdown sideshow is nothing more than a political temper tantrum that would slow the flow of critical investments to communities that need it most. It’s time for the adults in the room to fund the government and get back to work.
