According to EPA, food loss and waste amounts to 8% of global man-caused emissions. That's a lot.

In 2021 automakers endorsed 50% of all new cars being zero emission in 2030. Reportedly, this rule would call for 54% in 2030. What happened between 2021 and today? Enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act which included the largest incentives for EVs in US history.

Sens Carper, Schumer, Manchin, Speaker Pelosi & others in Congress deserve all the credit for the Inflation Reduction Act. Its a historic step to address climate change. They were helped by dozens of staffers including me. Thanks @JodyFreemanHLS for the opty to talk about the IRA.
New CleanLaw! @JodyFreemanHLS & @1gregdotson chat about the IRA, which he helped negotiate, draft, and facilitate its passage. They discuss reconciliation and US GHG emissions in the near and not so near future, as the Act promotes cleaner tech innovation
