The Inflation Reduction Act Passed. Now What?
b'In August, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law. The IRA allocates around $370 billion over ten years to invest in renewable energy, make EVs more affordable, address climate inequities, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help mitigate the climate crisis.\\xa0\\n\\nBut like any law, the way the money is doled out matters, and the law\\u2019s implementation will ultimately determine its success.
