How the Inflation Reduction Act sparked a manufacturing and clean energy boom in the U.S.​

The Inflation Reduction Act has sparked a manufacturing boom across the U.S., mobilizing tens of billions of dollars of investment, particularly in rural communities in need of economic development.

The future of those investments could hinge on the outcome of the U.S. presidential election. The prospect of a Republican victory has shaken the confidence of some investors who worry the IRA could be weakened or in a worst-case scenario repealed.

Companies have announced $133 billion of investments in clean energy technology and electric vehicle manufacturing since President Joe Biden signed the IRA into law in August 2022, according to data from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Rhodium Group.

Actual manufacturing investment has totaled $89 billion, an increase of 305% compared to the two years prior to the IRA, according to MIT and Rhodium. Overall, the IRA has leveraged half a trillion dollars of investment across the manufacturing, energy and retail sectors, according to the data.

........is a more consequential achievement than most presidents can lay claim to as a legacy for their admin. We won't know how consequential until the future unfolds.

It's one of the reasons making the election of Harris so important. Cuz orange jesus not only represents a threat to the future of US democracy, he represents a threat to the future of the world's ever more dangerous climate.

Something about creating US manufacturing jobs that address a global crisis you don't like?

Something about creating US manufacturing jobs that address a global crisis you don't like?

something you don't understand about the analogy?

perhaps if I pout it another way.

spraying a pile of shit with perfume may make it smell better, but it's still a pile of shit.

In other words, yes?

And in your scenario creating US manufacturing jobs that address a global crisis is the pile of shit? You're weird.

The PILE OF SHIT, is the refusal of Republicans to acknowledge and accept that man made climate change is destroying the world. Or that there are BILLIONS of dollars to be made in manufacturing green technologies.

Americans are currently spending more than suffering hundreds of millions of dollars in damage annually from climate change weather.

In 1991, the Paddy Carson wrote a best selling book called "Green is Gold". Everything Carson saw happening in the business world, is now happening in spades. See Elon Musk.

Big Oil has fought this tooth and claw, in the same way and for the same reasons that Big Tobacco fought evidence that smoking caused cancer, heart disease, and death. And with the same results. Americans are dying.
