ABOUT THIS EVENT
The Inflation Reduction Act became law one year ago, and since then it has supercharged U.S. efforts to deploy clean energy. The IRA has sparked a boom in domestic cleantech manufacturing, spurred wind, solar and battery developers to build more projects faster, and given early-stage technologies like green hydrogen a much-needed kick-start.
Helping guide this progress is David Crane, the Department of Energy’s Under Secretary for Infrastructure. Crane is in charge of the DOE’s multibillion-dollar program focused on deploying proven cleantech at scale and also oversees efforts to seed the start of the next generation of clean energy technology.
Join us for a conversation between Crane and Canary Media Senior Reporter Julian Spector — they’ll discuss the impact of the climate law one year in and what work is still left to be done.
