GOP criticizes Biden’s climate law as red districts reap its rewards

A new POLITICO analysis found that roughly two-thirds of major clean energy projects announced since the Inflation Reduction Act went into law are located in districts whose Republican lawmakers opposed the legislation. POLITICO’s Josh Siegel and Kelsey Tamborrino discuss how the Inflation Reduction Act sparked billions of dollars in investment flowing to red districts. Plus, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said President Joe Biden would veto new SPR legislation from House Republicans expected this week.   Josh Siegel is an energy reporter for POLITICO.  Kelsey Tamborrino is a reporter covering clean energy.
