Roundup of Inflation Reduction Act Explainers

We can’t say it enough: the Inflation Reduction Act is a landmark moment for our climate, and the clean economy and homeowners stand to benefit. When the bill was first passed, Tigercomm’s whiz researcher Jamie Meckley compiled a list of explainers for us to read. We know we’re still trying to make sense of the way these funds will be allocated, so we’re sharing that list with you in case it’s useful in your own research.

Media outlets, think tanks, consulting firms, investment firms, or NGOs that have provided an in-depth overview of the $370 billion of spending in the IRA.
