The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was a massive climate win...but now that it's law, how is it actually changing our country and building our clean energy future?

No matter where you live, the IRA is already providing real, tangible benefits to you and your community.

We fought hard for this. Now, let's meet the Inflation Reduction Act...in real life.

Friend, as climate-related extreme weather events threaten rural communities, the IRA is helping farmers fight back, cut energy costs, and reduce pollution. Check out this critical impact of the IRA and more in the latest edition of IRAirl.

The IRA is helping farmers lead an agricultural clean energy revolution

America's farmers are on the front lines of the climate crisis. Shifting seasons and extreme weather events like heat waves, droughts, and flooding are impacting farmers' bottom lines. But thanks to the IRA, farmers now have a huge opportunity to cut costs and pollution by deploying clean energy.

The IRA provided billions of dollars of new funding for the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP); raised the ceiling for funding new clean energy projects; lowered the barrier for installing new clean energy projects like cost-saving solar panels; and made the benefits of clean energy more accessible for farmers, ranchers, and small business owners.

The IRA also invests further in critical USDA programs that assist and protect U.S. farms and farmers, while providing investments that ensure the conservation of vital American farming lands.

We're already seeing the IRA make an impact in farming communities—from the Northeast to middle America, and we know it's just getting started.

Quick Hits: The Inflation Reduction Act is providing...

A big boost to green manufacturing in the U.S.
A massive clean energy hiring boom in places like Nevada
Important energy storage deployments
North America's first commercial lithium-ion battery recycling hub
$6 billion in funding to speed up decarbonization in heavy industries like steel, aluminum, and cement that contribute nearly 25% of U.S. greenhouse gas pollution
We're thrilled to be a part of this clean energy revolution and to have you along with us.

Warmly,
