The Inflation Reduction Act is the most significant climate legislation in United States history, but reaching its full economic development and emissions reduction potential will require state and local governments to act quickly on implementation. This webinar features experts from Energy Innovation and the U.S. Department of Energy discussing what’s in the IRA and what’s needed to unlock its full potential.

EI’s Dan Esposito joins Janet McCabe, deputy administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and John Applegate professor of law at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law, to discuss the significance of the Inflation Reduction Act and the potential impact.

In this launch event, EI’s CEO Hal Harvey and investigative journalist Justin Gillis lay out an action plan to drive America’s greenhouse gas emissions down to zero in their book The Big Fix, in conversation with Vice President Al Gore. We as citizens need to do more than yell at the TV or turn down our air-conditioners. That’s thinking too small. Harvey and Gillis share stories of the thousands of Americans who aren’t waiting for Washington, who are organizing locally and thinking BIG about the planet’s future.

This is part three of a three part series that details the Energy Policy Simulator (EPS). In this video, our team walks through each of the remaining key sectors and calculation in the of the EPS, including the input-output model and associated cash flows, land use, carbon capture, endogenous learning, district heating and hydrogen supply, and health impacts, and discusses the input data and methodology used for calculating policy impacts in these parts of the model.
