WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Wildlife Federation heralded the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 announced by U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) as a landmark deal on climate action, clean energy, cost reduction, and jobs.
“This agreement affirms that we can address the climate crisis, lower costs for consumers, lift up frontline and rural communities, and invest in made-in-America jobs and clean energy innovation,” said Collin O’Mara, president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation. “Thank you to Majority Leader Schumer, Senator Manchin, their Democratic colleagues, and all of the grassroots activists who made this historic agreement possible. We still have a great deal of work ahead, but the Senate should swiftly take up this landmark agreement.”
