Momentum builds for the Inflation Reduction Act


Momentum Builds

The week is kicking into full gear and we're enjoying the tailwind from some major milestones for the Infrastructure Reduction Act (IRA). As the IRA enters its third year, it continues to set new records for American manufacturing. Its deep and far-reaching impact has earned bipartisan support despite remaining widely unknown by name.

Solar Soars to New Heights

Thanks to the IRA’s clean energy incentives, U.S. solar panel manufacturing increased by 71% in Q1 2024, the largest increase in American history.

According to SEIA president and CEO Abigail Ross Hopper, “this quarter proves that new federal investments in clean energy are revitalizing American manufacturing and strengthening our nation’s energy economy. Whether it’s a billion-dollar investment in a nearby solar project or a new manufacturing plant employing hundreds of local workers, the solar and storage industry is uplifting communities in every state across this country.”

(Almost) Everyone Loves the IRA

A recent survey by Yale and George Mason University found that 74% of U.S. registered voters—including a majority of moderate Republicans—support the IRA once they learn about it. Voters approved of its home and vehicle electrification tax credits and its boost to manufacturing, especially in red states. It has sparked a rare outpouring of bipartisan enthusiasm.

DeepSeek makes a splash

DeepSeek Splash I have a confession: for reasons, I tend to keep my techno-enthusiasm under wraps. All tech bubbles eventually pop, often leaving scorched earth.
