Some investors are worried Donald Trump will repeal the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) — which funded over $300 billion in clean energy investments across the U.S. last year and has created over 300,000 clean energy jobs as of June 20 — if elected in November, according to experts who spoke at last month’s #GreenFin24 conference. Trump has expressed his dislike of the act in election speeches and his campaign officials told the Financial Times last year, "We’d be looking to cut a lot of that spending." But will a full-scale repeal of codified law truly happen, ending President Joe Biden’s clean energy ambitions? "It’s the No. 1 question we receive from clients," said David Yaros, U.S. tax sustainability co-leader at Deloitte during a panel at #GreenFin24. Article by Leah Garden: https://buff.ly/4cmBYIs
