The #InflationReductionAct has brought about exciting new #CleanEnergy incentives. 🔋

The time is now for local govts to ensure they have the knowledge + tools they need to maximize this opportunity. 🌇

The plane coming to get us was delayed over and over again and @AmericanAir would not guarantee its arrival that night. I don’t see how there was any choice at all about renting a car. And this was all due to mechanical failure in the first place.

[Debbie Karpay Weyl @dkweyl]

Hey @AmericanAir, I was on flt 2823 DCA to TPA 3/13 that landed in JAX for engine trouble. Grateful the pilots kept us safe! And now can’t find how to (1) get reimbursed for the rental car to get to Tampa or (2) request compensation for the 10 hr delay for a mechanical issue.

[Debbie Karpay Weyl @dkweyl]

The communication from @AmericanAir at JAX was awful. A mom ran out of formula for her baby. A family with 3 kids under 5 was among those told there was no hotel availability & we’d have to sleep at the airport.

[Data for Progress @DataProgress]

NEW POLL with @WorldResources: A majority of voters support Justice40, the initiative that ensures 40% of federal climate investments go to disadvantaged communities.

We also find that 77% of voters view environmental justice as an important priority.

New polling from @DataProgress, in collaboration with @WRIClimate, finds that 54% of Americans are supportive of the #Justice40 Initiative and its goals to deliver #EnvironmentalJustice to underserved communities across the United States.

@JenRennicks This is awesome! Congrats!!

@JonahPerlin All day, everyday, @girl_tales. Z basically knows them all by heart and they’re incredible.

@JonahPerlin Oh no, not again?!?!

I'm seeing some misinterpretation of our @UNEP Emissions Gap Report. The report finds that a credible pathway to 1.5C is not *in place* under current policies/NDCs. That's not the same as saying 1.5C is now impossible. https://t.co/AFdb1Bzll9

Climate-smart policies from the #InflationReductionAct & #IIJA can create up to 3.1 million additional net jobs if clean energy manufacturing is on-shored in the US. Learn what sectors stand to gain the most jobs: https://t.co/QgX2nMmcA9

How do we decarbonize industry? New WRI article on what is needed ⤵️

[WRI Climate @WRIClimate]

The U.S. can’t meet its national climate goals without significantly reducing the emissions associated with industrial production.

A new @WRIClimate article takes stock of new investments, initiatives and policies & what else is needed.

[WRI Climate @WRIClimate]

Congress passed the #InflationReductionAct, the most significant climate legislation in U.S. history that will offer a plethora of benefits for Americans and put the nation within striking distance of its climate goal.

Heat pumps are an unsung climate hero, and passing the Inflation Reduction Act would give them a big boost.

Let's get this done, y'all. I want a livable planet for these munchkins.

Senators Schumer & Manchin introduced the Inflation Reduction Act. It includes $370 billion in climate & clean energy investments that will lower energy costs, boost energy security and reduce pollution. If passed it would be the largest climate legislation in US history🧵

The US Senate introduced the #InflationReductionAct of 2022 that includes $369 billion in climate and clean energy investments to bring down consumer energy costs and increase American energy security, while substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions. https://t.co/FFb5XtNxSc
