Less than 3 in 10 Americans say they know a good or great deal about the Inflation Reduction Act, though many voters in both parties support some of its key climate programs.
At the heart of Biden’s approach is the Inflation Reduction Act, which provisioned roughly $400 billion to spur clean energy manufacturing, penalize the worst polluters and help Americans afford greener technology, including electric vehicles and energy-efficient appliances. Coupled with other recent legislative efforts, the Biden administration says the full array of new federal climate initiatives can help the United States reduce emissions to half of their 2005 levels by 2030.
“Many programs in the IRA had to be set up literally from scratch,” Podesta said, adding that the spending is “working as intended by fueling a clean energy boom in America and bringing with it good-paying jobs.” Yet each of these initiatives on its own — along with other climate-focused tax programs included in the law — still has the support of half or more Americans including some Republicans, the poll shows. Taken together, the findings could suggest a disconnect between the public’s assumptions about the law and its appetite for the very climate programs it authorized.
In New Jersey, Banty Patel said he favors a future powered by renewables. But the 40-year-old, who tends to vote Republican, said he is skeptical about the little he has heard about the Inflation Reduction Act — and suspicious of tax credits that could be subject to waste, fraud and abuse.
