WASHINGTON, DC -- This afternoon, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022, a critical and long-awaited step forward on our path to a 100% clean energy future. This landmark package — the largest climate investment in American history — will invest billions of dollars in tax credits and other programs that could reduce carbon emissions by 40% from 2005 levels by the end of the decade. In response, Sierra Club President Ramon Cruz released the following statement:

As scientific warnings pile up about the existential threat of climate change around the globe, senate Republicans continue to deny the reality of the climate crisis and refuse to take any meaningful action.
