And, the recent report from the United Nations International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is no exception. The IPCC tells us that this is the decade when we must take action on climate change to avoid the worst- case scenarios. In our fight against climate change, we need to make sure every dollar makes a difference.

Last year, Congress passed the most ambitious climate bill ever enacted, the Inflation Reduction Act. The legislation committed nearly $400 billion to support, among other things, wind and solar power, battery storage, electric vehicles, and other clean energy technologies that will make a significant dent in US heat-trapping emissions.

The biggest takeaway : without robust new policies, US energy sector heat trapping emissions will continue to remain high, far off-track from where we need to be to meet our climate goals. These projections show that without additional policies or incentives, the US is very much in danger of not meeting our climate goals.
