What is the IRA? (Hint: Not an Individual Retirement Account)

"The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 is the most significant climate legislation in U.S. history, offering funding, programs, and incentives to accelerate the transition to a clean energy economy and will likely drive significant deployment of new clean electricity resources. Most provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 became effective 1/1/2023." - EPA

"The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) is a landmark[1][2] United States federal law which aims to curb inflation by reducing the deficit, lowering prescription drug prices, and investing into domestic energy production while promoting clean energy." - Wikipedia

A different view:
"A green energy firm with close ties to the White House was among the very first companies to take advantage of tax incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Democrats' flagship climate package." - Fox News Time: Tuesday, May 9, 7 - 8:30pm
