#Biden’s #InflationReductionAct is the largest US #ClimateLaw in history, valued at over $400B total. That figure includes grants & other spending to spur #CleanEnergy deployment, along w/ tax incentives & credits.
#Trump, who has called #ClimateChange a “hoax”, said in an economy-focused speech on Sept 5 that he wants to "rescind all unspent funds under the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act" if elected.
