Electrification Caucus Members release statements on Inflation Reduction Act
Sen. Martin Heinrich
Co-Chair, D-NM
Aug 16, 2022
“Taken as a whole, this new law . . . will move the needle on climate further than ever before by accelerating the widespread deployment of reliable, affordable, and pollution-free power generation and supercharge the American manufacturing base for emerging clean and electric technologies — from air-source heat pumps and wind turbines to batteries, solar components, and electric vehicles.”
Sen. Tina Smith
Co-Chair, D-MN
Aug 7, 2022
“This is a historic bill that meets the moment. It fights inflation and reduces the federal deficit. Make no mistake: This legislation represents the most significant action we have ever taken to fight the climate crisis. It will lead to a 40 percent reduction in emissions by 2030, lower energy costs, and spur the economy by creating millions of union jobs in manufacturing and clean energy.”
Rep. Kathy Castor
Co-Chair, D-FL-14
Aug 12, 2022
“This is also a Big Climate Deal. The Inflation Reduction Act . . . will empower American workers to lead the global clean energy economy, as we produce more of our energy here in America, bolster our energy independence, and strengthen our domestic manufacturing supply chain.”
Rep. Paul Tonko
Co-Chair, D-NY-20
Aug 12, 2022
“Our Inflation Reduction Act delivers unmatched investments in clean energy and emerging technologies like offshore wind, advances environmental justice, creates good-paying clean jobs, slashes pollution, and so much more. In addition to helping us achieve our climate goals, this transformational legislation will lower costs for consumers.”
Sen. John Hickenlooper
D-CO
Aug 16, 2022
“We will reduce the deficit by $300 billion even as we make the most significant investment in addressing the climate crisis in the history of the world. This begins the Great Transition.”
