We were named in April, but today, on the two year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act being signed into law as the biggest climate investment in history, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officially awarded our Power Forward Communities coalition a $2 billion National Clean Investment Fund grant alongside our coalition members Habitat for Humanity International, Enterprise Community Partners, Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), and United Way. As part of this coalition working on single-family homes and apartments, especially in low-income and disadvantaged communities, Rewiring America will be announcing local community partnerships in the coming months. We're excited to have these resources to help shape the market, draw in private investment to this work, and for families, help make going electric easier! Read the press release here:

“Heating and cooling our school had a huge energy cost. So we successfully researched, planned and proposed a heat pump on campus.” The kids are alright: Meet the California middle schoolers who got so pumped for heat pumps that their school district couldn’t help but join them: https://bit.ly/3Xk0HrQ
Adults doubted us. We found a way to shrink emissions at our middle school anyway

Brand loyalty is a serious business. And it’s getting a new crowd of drivers to buy into EVs. From Bloomberg: “Indeed, for all the talk of an EV slowdown in the US, Subaru and Toyota’s second-quarter sales growth suggests they are among the carmakers tapping into a swath of drivers who were simply waiting for their preferred brand to turn out an electric model.” This news is both excellent and explanatory. As more trusted, fan-favorite carmakers roll out battery-powered options, more consumers will feel confident to make the upgrade. https://lnkd.in/gum5yDcD?

“A lot of the IRA is to spur manufacturing … and improve our position as a green leader in this world. But the rebate program is, in addition to the tax credits, really meant to actually touch the lives of Americans.” Two years after the Inflation Reduction Act’s signing, 51 states and territories have taken steps to set up their own home upgrade rebates programs. Our policy associate Amanda Sachs spoke with Canary Media Inc. about the good these programs will do for millions of Americans. Link in the comments. [ 📰: Alison F. Takemura, Ph.D.]
