Despite the IRA’s substantial assist to emission cuts, we will need additional policies to push emissions 50% below 2005 levels. A mid-August 2022 report from a Princeton research group, concluded that IRA would close two-thirds of the remaining emissions gap between current policy and the nation’s 2030 climate target (50% below 2005).

Renewable energy generation increases faster than any other technology.
