We have made real progress reducing countywide emissions AND we all need to do more faster to achieve our 2030 countywide climate action goals.
I recently had the opportunity to dive deep into the environmental world by completing an emission inventory for Dane County. Here are some of the lessons I learned.
The Dane County Office of Energy & Climate Change’s enthusiasm for the Inflation Reduction Act is well known. We have created a webpage to help locals access the various IRA benefits (e.g., Tax credits for home energy upgrades! Tax credits for EVs! Tax credits for solar and geothermal on homes, businesses AND nonprofits!)
This month the US Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which represents the largest investment in climate action in US history. The IRA commits about $369 billion to climate action.
