- IER
- Blog
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), President Biden’s signature climate bill, passed solely by Democrats, contains lucrative, essentially uncapped subsidies for wind and solar-generated power. Under current law, the tax credits phase out over four years, starting in either 2032 or when the U.S. power sector’s greenhouse gas emissions fall to a quarter of their 2022 levels — whichever comes later. An essentially uncapped phase-out defies the original purpose of tax credits,...

The Senate Finance Committee released its draft legislation of the reconciliation bill on Monday and, although the main structure of the bill remains the same as the house version, there are some notable differences in some of its energy provisions. Unfortunately, some of these differences are steps backward in that they replace the House bill’s strict repeals with softer language that allows companies to keep receiving tax credits past the end of President Trump’s time in office....

Despite being the seventh-largest producer of crude oil and third in refining capacity, California continues to demonstrate a desire for self-destruction with its anti-oil and gas stance. California’s aggressive push for destructive energy policies has already resulted in the closure of oil refineries and even the promised relocation of oil major Chevron to friendlier Houston Texas. The closure of refineries statewide will put pressure on California’s ability to provide gasoline to its...
