President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act: A Year of Climate and Healthcare Initiatives

1 Mins read

President Joe Biden commemorated the first anniversary of his Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), a comprehensive package of climate and healthcare initiatives that forms part of his overarching “Bidenomics” program.

Celebrating a Milestone

Speaking at the White House’s East Room, Biden hailed the IRA as “one of the most significant laws ever enacted.” The president signed this groundbreaking legislation a year ago with the goal of advancing clean energy (ICLN), bolstering U.S. manufacturing, and reducing healthcare costs (IXJ). As he campaigns for re-election, Biden has been touting the law’s merits, particularly emphasizing that no Republicans supported it during its passage.

Public Awareness and Climate Impact

Despite its potential for positive change, polling indicates that most people are unfamiliar with the IRA. Reflecting on this, Biden openly expressed a desire to rename the law, as its focus extends beyond inflation reduction to providing alternatives that foster economic growth.

However, the IRA presents an unanticipated wealth of tax-saving energy and climate measures. It is primarily aimed at generating 1.5 million new jobs over the next decade and significantly curbing U.S. carbon emissions.

Notably, Biden’s progress on the IRA, alongside an infrastructure bill that funded the expansion of electric vehicle charging networks, has transformed him into a recognized global leader on climate issues.

Challenges Ahead

The IRA faces potential spending cuts on environmental initiatives if Republicans secure a majority in the upcoming elections. The GOP’s focus lies in achieving greater U.S. energy independence within the oil (CL00, -2.16%) and natural gas (NG00, -2.82%) sectors, while fostering private-sector growth in renewables such as wind and solar.

Looking Forward

To mark the Inflation Reduction Act’s first-year anniversary, it is crucial to analyze its impact on climate-related winners and losers. Additionally, the IRS has highlighted the progress made with IRA funding but warns against potential budget cuts.
