NPR discusses how the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) — hailed as the most ambitious climate legislation in U.S. history — is working to move the country away from fossil fuels while rebuilding the manufacturing industry. “So far, 316 new clean energy projects have been announced since the law passed, generating more than 100,000 new manufacturing jobs, according to the environmental business group E2. The White House estimates more than 270,000 jobs have been created,” NPR cites. JCF has been selected to receive approximately $1 billion in funding from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund’s Clean Communities Investment Accelerator program, part of the IRA.
