BCSE President Lisa Jacobson joined a panel at the U.S. Center on Wednesday to explore the international opportunities supported by the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Moderated by U.S. Treasury Climate Counselor Ethan Zindler, the panel highlighted how the IRA has created opportunities for other countries to supply the U.S. with key components needed for a just a transition to clean energy.
Lisa highlighted the importance of maintaining policies like the IRA and ensuring continuity of market signals for businesses and consumers. “The policies help us do it faster, they help us do it more affordably, and they expand access,” she said. “For the United States, we have such a competitive opportunity here to not only improve communities on the ground with jobs and economic development, but to also support communities around the world as they become our partners in these growing supply chains.”
