Today marks a massive leap forward in doing exactly what POW was started to do: Protect the places we live and lifestyles we love President Biden just signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law. This includes the largest, most impactful climate investments of our time (so far!). It invests $369 billion into clean energy, clean transportation, green technology and more. Now, this list should sound very familiar to you, because it is what POW has been advocating for in DC and state houses (often with your help!) for more than a decade. Some of the benefits we’ll notice at home like credits to put solar on our roofs and buy American-built electric vehicles, including used ones. Putting cleaner options in reach for more people will help make a solid dent in emissions, create good jobs and save people money in the short and long term. We also need to reimagine the overall system for creating and transmitting energy nationwide. This bill does that by jumpstarting manufacturing and innovation that will fuel the clean energy transition. It seeks to add 950 million solar panels, 120,000 wind turbines and 2,300 grid-scale battery plants to the grid by 2030. As with any big objective, compromises needed to be made and plans changed along the way as conditions changed. But, we are now on track to reduce emissions by 40% (of 2005 levels) by 2030. One of the most important decisions you can make in the mountains is deciding who is on your team. As we reach the summit of this objective and make celebratory pow turns down the face, I’m especially grateful to all of you for joining us on this ride. Let’s celebrate this historic moment! And then get back to it. The window was quick and the path incredibly narrow to reach today’s summit. On that note, please join me in pledging to vote today!
