Deep dives
The Biden administration's emissions reduction goal falls short
Despite the investment of $369 billion into curbing emissions through the Inflation Reduction Act, studies indicate that the IRA alone will not achieve Biden's goal of cutting US greenhouse gas pollution by 50% by the end of the decade. Estimates range from 43% to 48% reduction compared to 2005 levels.
