1/ @EnergyInnovLLC has finished modeling the #InflationReductionAct & the results are transformative. Bottom line-- if passed-- the bill would be the most ambitious #climate action in US history. A thread w/ top line findings, & full results here: rb.gy/r1zftw

2/ Our modeling finds the policies in the #InflationReductionAct would cut US #greenhousegas emissions 37-41% below 2005 levels by 2030. Combined w/ executive & state action, that means the US can realistically hit its targets under the Paris Agreement

3/ Our modeling also finds the #InflationReductionAct won't just protect our environment-- it'll make the US economy stronger. The policies in the bill are projected to create up to 1.5 million jobs in 2030 and add nearly 1% to the country's GDP

4/ Just as importantly, the #InflationReductionAct's policies will literally save lives. By cutting air pollution, @EnergyInnovLLC's modeling finds the bill would prevent over 3,900 premature deaths, 100,000 asthma attacks, & 417,000 lost workdays annually in 2030.

5/ The #InflationReductionAct will be especially meaningful for environmental justice communities. Our modeling finds as a percentage decrease, avoided deaths are concentrated in communities of color, which have historically experienced the most harm from air pollution.

6/ The fossil fuel provisions in the #InflationReductionAct are not ideal but fortunately our modeling finds the bill avoids 24 tons of greenhouse gas emissions for every 1 ton caused by oil & gas leasing provisions.

7/ The data is clear-- the US has never come close to passing policy that would cut #greenhousegas emissions at the scale the #InflationReductionAct will if it becomes law & few policies anywhere in the world have been as impactful. Plus it'll benefit our economy & public health.
