The Inflation Reduction Act is partisan legislation packed with what could amount to more than one trillion dollars in “green” subsidies meant to centrally plan how Americans produce and use energy.
Not a single House or Senate Republican voted for the IRA. And to their credit, House Republicans have passed important legislation this Congress, such as the Limit, Save, Grow Act (H.R. 2811), which attempts to repeal many of the IRA’s “green” subsidies.
Unfortunately, these legislative efforts have not sought to repeal all of the subsidies. And recently, a small number of Republicans revealed they may be backing off going after these subsidies, at least to some extent.
The wobble comes at a time when conservatives may well find themselves in a political position to dismantle the IRA subsidies altogether. It is critical, therefore, that Republicans do not waver because these subsidies are extremely damaging.
