With the IRA’s 2nd anniversary, we’ve seen the positive ripples of the IRA spread across the nation. The Climate Jobs National Resource Center announced that over 6,200 IRA-eligible clean energy projects are planned, in development or already complete. CJNRC estimates the sum of all projects across the country will create over 3 million jobs that can boost pay and job quality by meeting IRA labor provisions, and generate over 1 million megawatts of clean power.

This post includes climate and environment headlines, data points, and key takeaways from recent public polls – including new national and swing state polling on the IRA’s tax credits and offshore drilling + new research on the terminology of climate change + new polling in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and South Carolina.
