More House Republicans Back the IRA
On March 9, Rep. Andrew Garbarino and 20 other House Republicans sent a letter to Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith urging him to exercise restraint when weighing cuts to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). This is Rep. Garbarino’s second letter in support of the IRA. We covered the 14 signatories of the first letter in our January edition.
In this issue, we’re analyzing the text of the letter and going deep on the 7 new signatories: the IRA-backed investments in their districts, their committees of jurisdiction, and their policy priorities, to help inform our understanding of which tax credits they support.
The Clean Tech Tariff Tracker
The White House has announced and teased a slew of new tariffs with major ramifications for the energy sector. Between all the announcements of what’s been threatened, withdrawn, enacted, and hit with retaliatory tariffs by our trading partners, it’s easy to get confused.
That’s why we’re publishing a tariff tracker that we’ll update regularly to make sure you have a one stop shop to make sense of how tariffs can impact the energy sector. We’re hitting all the tariffs and trade barriers affecting the sector, including everything enacted and threatened by the Trump Administration, and the Biden Administration tariffs that are still in place. Our hope is that this can be a living document that you can bookmark and keep coming back to as needed.
The IRA Tax Credits that Matter Most to Republicans

The IRA EV Tax Credits are Working. In a BIG way.
Despite a rising tide of negative headlines, EV sales are on the rise. There are lots of reasons to explain EV’s growing popularity, but generous IRA incentives are a major factor. We’re doing a deep dive into the IRA’s EV tax credits to explain how they’re driving EV adoption.
And of course we’re bringing you a comprehensive rundown of October’s clean tech financing awards and opportunities!
