Join the Electrification Caucus

“Electrifying our homes and businesses is one of the surest climate actions that we can take right now. We can create millions of new jobs, reduce our energy bills, and improve air quality and public health. This is a way to use already existing, proven technologies to dramatically reduce carbon pollution, create millions of new, good-paying jobs, and secure a better, more equitable future for our communities.”

“The transition to clean energy is happening, the question is whether our country leads or follows. I want us to lead. The adoption of heat pumps will help us use American-made clean electricity that increases our energy independence, lowers energy costs for families, reduces pollution, and protects the planet.”

“It’s time to unleash the supercharged benefits of electrification: new good-paying jobs and careers, lower bills for American families, cleaner air for vulnerable communities, and a healthier environment for the next generation. I’m committed to building our clean energy future right here in America, as we put Americans to work building fun-to-drive electric cars, manufacturing cost-saving electric appliances, and expanding the reach of cleaner, cheaper energy.”

“Electrifying our buildings and vehicles will not only prove vital in our fight to combat the climate crisis, but also offers untapped opportunities to improve energy efficiency, spur innovation and provide all Americans with better, cleaner alternatives. Now is the time for Congress to take bold steps towards electrification in order to help Americans save on their energy bills while breathing cleaner air.”

Heinrich Applauds Biden Signing Inflation Reduction Act Into Law

“Taken as a whole, this new law . . . will move the needle on climate further than ever before by accelerating the widespread deployment of reliable, affordable, and pollution-free power generation and supercharge American manufacturing base for emerging clean and electric technologies—from air-source heat pumps and wind turbines to batteries, solar components, and electric vehicles."

U.S. Senator Tina Smith Celebrates the Passage of the IRA

“This is a historic bill that meets the moment. It fights inflation and reduces the federal deficit. Make no mistake: This legislation represents the most significant action we have ever taken to fight the climate crisis. It will lead to a 40% reduction in emissions by 2030, lower energy costs, and spur the economy by creating millions of union jobs in manufacturing and clean energy."

Rep. Castor Hails Passage of Historic Inflation Reduction Act

“This is also a Big Climate Deal. The Inflation Reduction Act . . . will empower American workers to lead the global clean energy economy, as we produce more of our energy here in America, bolster our energy independence, and strengthen our domestic manufacturing supply chain.”

Tonko Heralds Passage of Historic Inflation Reduction Act

"Our Inflation Reduction Act delivers unmatched investments in clean energy and emerging technologies like offshore wind, advances environmental justice, creates good-paying clean jobs, slashes pollution, and so much more. In addition to helping us achieve our climate goals, this transformational legislation will lower costs for consumers."

Hickenlooper: “This Begins the Great Transition”

“We will reduce the deficit by $300 billion even as we make the most significant investment in addressing the climate crisis in the history of the world. This begins the Great Transition.”
