Earthjustice supports the Inflation Reduction Act's unprecedented funding for renewable energy, building electrification, and climate justice for disproportionately affected communities. However, the organization condemns 'atrocious concessions' for the fossil fuel industry, such as mandatory lease offers and carbon capture tax subsidies, which it argues threaten ecosystems in the Gulf Coast, Appalachia, and Alaska.

  • The Inflation Reduction Act provides unprecedented funding for a wide range of clean energy and climate priorities, including renewable energy production and storage, electrification of buildings and vehicles (both heavy and passenger), appliance efficiency, domestic clean technology manufacturing, climate-friendly agriculture, and forest conservation.
  • The legislation allocates billions of dollars to communities disproportionately impacted by pollution and climate change through investments in air monitoring, clean ports, coastal resilience, green financing, and community-led solutions including climate, environmental, and community solar justice block grants.
  • Earthjustice criticizes the bill for including harmful concessions for the fossil fuel industry, specifically citing mandatory lease offers and tax subsidies for carbon capture, which may perpetuate pollution and ecosystem destruction in Alaska, the Appalachians, and the Gulf Coast.
  • Earthjustice asserts that these investments are essential for the United States to meet its imperative climate goals and maintain global climate leadership, potentially creating a clean energy economy that makes hydrocarbons obsolete.
