Unlocking Clean Energy Incentives for Underserved Communities
The Inflation Reduction Act provides an unprecedented opportunity to foster more equitable participation in clean energy development and channel resources into historically marginalized communities. Because of the IRA’s Direct Pay provision, nonprofits, and state, local, and Tribal governments can now access tax credits over 10 years for clean energy projects in underserved communities. This democratizes energy, unlocking the potential for diverse entities across the U.S. to own clean energy assets as a wealth-building opportunity.
Climate and the environment rank among President Biden’s largest issue advantages over Trump. 76% of voters support protecting the environment and addressing climate change, including 47% who “strongly” support it. 75% of voters support investing in clean energy technologies, including 43% who “strongly” support it.
Poll: Americans Remain Pessimistic on the Economy and Personal Finances
Voters continue to support the Inflation Reduction Act by a wide margin after learning about it. Voters support the Inflation Reduction Act by a nearly three-to-one margin (68% support / 24% oppose) after reading a brief, one-sentence description of it. And while voters consistently say that they support the IRA, it would be a mistake to assume that they know much about it: polling has consistently found that awareness of the law lags far behind support for it.
