WHY WISCONSIN NEEDS THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT NOW

Critical climate and clean energy investments will create millions of good-paying jobs, lower energy costs for families, invest in disadvantaged communities, and reduce climate polultion. Not only are Wisconsinites demanding climate action now, with 73% of registered voters supporting Congressional action on climate change, they are experiencing the devastating impacts of climate change. Currently, more than 200,000 people are at risk of inland flooding and 130,000 Wisconsinites are especially vulnerable to extreme heat, demonstrating precisely why Congress must act now and pass the Inflation Reduction Act to secure Wisconsin’s future. Here’s why Wisconsinites need the climate investments in the Inflation Reduction Act now: 

Voters in Wisconsin want solutions to the climate crisis.

Investing in clean energy means jobs for Wisconsin.

Wisconsinites are already feeling the impacts of climate change.

If we do nothing, it will get worse for communities across the state and cost billions of dollars.
