“As communities across the country continue to face extreme heat, intense storms and other climate impacts, now is the time to make bold investments. Today’s Senate vote advancing the Inflation Reduction Act is a significant step toward achieving President Biden’s ambitious goals to tackle the climate crisis while lowering costs for working families and creating good-paying jobs.
