Inflation Reduction Act

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (Public Law 117-169) is the most significant legislation in U.S. history to tackle the climate crisis and strengthen American energy security. It will lower energy costs for households and businesses, create manufacturing jobs for American workers, and deliver a clean, secure, and healthy future for our children and grandchildren.
