Federal Investments Build Prosperity fact sheets
"If You Fund It, They Will Come," a report by ReImagine Appalachia and Keystone Research Center, found the IRA significantly boosted clean energy investments in Appalachia. Federal clean energy investments in KY, OH, PA, and WV grew 17-fold ($11.5 billion) between 2022-2024, doubling total regional spending from $7.7 billion (2022) to nearly $15.9 billion (2023), with continued growth in 2024. Proposed reconciliation bill drafts threaten this progress, risking jobs, lowering state GDP, and increasing household energy costs. Fact sheets detail these potential harms if IRA provisions are rolled back.
