THE PRESENTATION: The Inflation Reduction Act can take a big bite out of fossil fuel use, with rebates and tax credits for equipment that efficiently uses electricity in our homes. As individuals, our timely use of these opportunities can bolster our nation’s credibility as leaders for climate protection. And savings from these new technologies can help our household budgets to better withstand inflation and drought impacts on food prices.

This program aims to support our readiness to buy electric vehicles, solar panel systems (for homes or nonprofit organizations), battery storage, heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, and electric ranges. Energy audits, weatherization, and insulation will also be discussed. The speakers will be ready to lead discussion of practical aspects of choosing and using these technologies.
