I appreciate this extremely nuanced perspective! Thanks for making the state of climate legislation understandable and accessible as always

I bought a house this year, and later this year I'm going to use the IRA to move from natural gas to a heat pump. I'll also be adding solar, but I don't think I can do that until next year. I already have an electric car, so I'm good for a while. My only worry is how to get the rebate for the heat pump. Each state has to setup their instant rebate program, and it's taking some time. Also, HVAC companies aren't that great in reading up about the IRA. Overall, the IRA isn't talked about enough. They did a lot of things, like focus on American-made EVs and established a 15% minimum tax for corporations. True, the IRA isn't perfect, but I think it's a solid improvement. The more that I learn about it, the more that I like. I didn't know about the support for Native American tribes until now.

Thanks for answering these questions.

Should have said this in my previous comment. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the thoughtful and informative videos! I know they take a lot of time to research, compose, edit, etc. Thank you, sincerely, for your public service.
@KingoftheAdriatic
Great video! Thank you :)

Great video! Highlighting the need to spend that money in ways that enhance environmental justice is absolutely essential. That said, I am also worried that the whole debt ceiling thing could endanger some of the IRA funding. Let's hope it just all stays intact and we make it through this decade with siginificant emissions cuts.
@Conus426
Great overview of this impactful new investment in a better future! I am not from the US, but i understand that action there will have a big impact even to us.

When you are off the grid, you are not even counted as utility bills are often used to identify a household.
@blackenchanter6795
Most recent “proposed” congressional budget guts the IRA. Make sure you stay involved.

This is an amazing video!

Why is this channel so SMALL? MORE COMMUNITY. I love it here. Also made my day hearing Diné spoken.
@dianewallace6064
I had not heard of the high efficiency electric home rebate act. I want to get a hot water heat pump so that may help. $$$ up front would help. Thanks.
@byrongsmith
Great video - thanks for putting it together.
@michaelbyrd7883
The IRA gave me much more hope where there really wasn't any. I would wish I could hear explanations from someone like you for instance to tell us i.e. me the difference between the IRA and the New Green Deal how far away are they from being the same thing and how Joe Manchin was able to keep the original proposal from going all the way?
@平和-v1z
Thank you so much for doing these very informative videos, I'm always looking forward to them!
@ClimateAdam
So glad you made this Miriam! I feel like chasing up on policy down the line is soooo important.
@Lukehmcc
Very glad YouTube reccomended this channel to me
@tely5
Let's hope it doesn't get screwed up with the debt ceiling talks.

I used to do analytical chemical testing of Superfund sites (and manufacturing sites) in the 1980s and 1990s (for PCBs and Dioxin) until the fed govt stopped funding the Superfund. I'm glad to hear the Superfund will be back. Thank you as always for your channel content.
