The Vice President’s visit coincided with the first anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act.
“All of that to say it is clear the clock is not just ticking, it is banging,” said Vice President Harris.“This work was designed to dramatically expand solar and wind energy production, to lower energy costs for working families, and put millions of electric vehicles on the road. We are creating millions of good-paying, clean-energy jobs. We are rebuilding America’s manufacturing and driving American innovation,” said Vice President Harris.
In 2022, she helped push the legislation through Congress with a tie-breaking vote. It’s a 10-year investment plan that incentivizes organizations, both for-profit and non-profit to switch to clean energy. “So they can install insulation and new windows, with of course increased energy efficiency and lower energy bills, so they can better afford to replace their gas-burning furnace with an electric heat pump to heat and cool their home which costs less money to run,” said the Vice President.
Homeowners can get up to $3,200 annually to, “lower the cost of energy-efficient home upgrades by up to 30%,” according to theVice President Harris also said that previous efforts to move away from fossil fuels failed to get clean energy to everyone, especially the people who live far away from solar plants and wind farms. She said the Biden-Harris administration will tackle that problem too.The move to clean energy is predicted to create jobs as well.
