    The Republicans who want to save the IRA

    August 14, 20244 Mins Read


    It’s been two years since President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law, kicking off a wave of clean energy investments.

    But two years on the books hasn’t guaranteed the IRA’s future. Republicans have been working to repeal parts of the law since it was passed, and former President Trump has lashed out against renewables and electric vehicles (at least those not made by Elon Musk’s Tesla) that have seen big benefits under the IRA.

    The uncertainty is one reason some developers have delayed major manufacturing projects, the Financial Times reported. But a new plea from some Republicans may give them some reassurance.

    Last week, 18 House Republicans wrote to Speaker Mike Johnson, warning him against fully gutting IRA incentives as their party works to repeal the law. The lawmakers still think the IRA is “deeply flawed,” but say eliminating its tax credits could upend energy projects already under construction and jeopardize billions of dollars of investments, including some in their districts.

    Republican-held districts have received about four times more IRA funding than blue districts. It’s unclear if Democrats designed the law to have that effect, but either way the uneven flow of funds to conservative communities could complicate any push to repeal President Biden’s flagship climate law.
