"Jobs created by the #CleanEnergy plan are not only unionized at higher rates than the overall energy workforce, they also have prevailing wage requirements that protect the gains won by Unions and help close racial and gender pay gaps."

#IRA

"Republicans plotting their party’s post-election policy agenda have a decision to make: What do they do with the Democrats’ 2022 #ClimateLaw, now that its clean energy tax breaks are drawing growing GOP support?

The law is undeniably bringing federal money, private investments and jobs into communities around the country overwhelmingly represented by Republicans — and the once-united opposition is fraying."

#IRA #InflationReductionAct

"In the two years since its enactment, the #InflationReductionAct has created at least 334,565 new clean energy jobs, and over $372 billion in green energy investments across 47 states. The #IRA is particularly helping out parts of the country represented by Republican lawmakers."

#WhatBidenDid for red states:

"That more than 190,700 of the #IRA’s clean energy jobs (and more than $286 billion in investment) are in 150 Republican-led districts shows that this bill is impacting “everywhere,” Glass says—even the places where politicians are trying to kill it. Since its passing, House #Republicans have voted 42 times to repeal the clean energy plan."

Most of the news on #WhatBidenDid for the climate didn't make it out to the voters.
But it should! A lot of exciting stuff.

It's DIY communication now.
Scroll up and down this thread for examples.

"In a separate analysis published in June, the [Yale] researchers surveyed only “pro-climate voters”—those who say that climate change is one of their top issues—and still found that only about half of them are familiar with the #IRA. "

#InflationReductionAct #WhatBidenDid

"The boom in clean energy projects is astounding. Since the passage of the IRA in 2022, incentives provided by the law helped drive $332 billion in new investments in #CleanEnergy and transportation technologies. Almost all of that was private investments, as opposed to government spending, spurred on by an estimated $48 billion in federal tax credits.

While much of the #IRA is working as intended, the American public is largely unaware of the story."

#WhatBidenDid

Climate Justice Alliance was the only #IRA grantee to call for a #GazaCeasefire 🇵🇸 and the only one whose funding is now delayed by #Biden admin.
