Washington, D.C. – Today, Margie Alt, Director of the Climate Action Campaign, released the following statement after reports that Senators Schumer and Manchin have reached an agreement on the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022:

“With more than 85 million Americans currently under a heat advisory, we are facing a climate emergency, and we must address it in ways that advance justice and create jobs. I commend Senator Schumer, President Biden, and the entire Senate Democratic Caucus for reaching a deal on legislation that invests in climate and aims to help lower energy costs for Americans,” said Alt. “While I look forward to studying the details closely, this is welcome news that the Senate appears to be moving forward on these investments.

There is no time to waste.”
