Funds from The Inflation Reduction Act have financed a wave of investments across Republican-held districts.
Roger Garbey and Andres Hernandez , from the Goldin Solar company, install a solar panel system on the roof of a home a day after the Trump administration announced it will impose duties of as much as 30 percent on solar equipment made abroad on January 23, 2018 in Palmetto Bay, Florida.
Over the past year, the Inflation Reduction Act has spurred nearly $280 billion in new investments across the country. The vast majority of those investments have flowed into Republican-held districts, according to numbers compiled by advocacy group Climate Power. "We've never had a day where we didn't have jobs or anything," said Aaron Millner, who works as a crew lead for West Virginia-based Solar Holler. Millner previously worked as a journeyman electrician for a home renovation company. He decided to join Solar Holler in September 2022.Millner, along with a handful of colleagues, is preparing a residential home in Kearneysville, West Virginia, for the installation of a rooftop solar system on this particular summer morning.
With nearly a year in the solar industry under his belt, Millner is confident he made the right decision."Solar is really going to be a huge thing in America, and it's just going to keep growing. And the sooner you get into it, the more time you'll have to reap the benefits." he said.H.J. Mai/H.J. Mai
