The Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law two years ago this week. In Pennsylvania, its impact so far includes carbon reduction, job creation, and support for disadvantaged communities. The I-R-A marks the largest clean energy investment in U-S history, with over 369-billion dollars dedicated to fighting climate change and creating jobs. Fred Quinn III, on the Swissvale Borough Council, just east of Pittsburgh, says the legislation will generate over 243-thousand new jobs across Pennsylvania by 2030. He adds the I-R-A offers financial relief for households as well.
