Abstract
ABSTRACT:President Joe Biden has emphasized the need for climate action since he was on the campaign trail. His platform included policies inspired by the Green New Deal, and one of his first acts in office was to issue an omnibus executive order calling for a “Whole of Government” approach to tackling the climate crisis. Then, in August 2022, he signed the Inflation Reduction Act. Heralded as the most significant piece of U.S. climate legislation to date, the IRA allocates $369 billion to incentivize clean energy, energy efficiency, electric vehicle purchases, and other supply-side measures to build demand for low-carbon technologies and products. Its underlying philosophy is that if renewable energy and low-carbon technology is cheap and plentiful, market dynamics will make fossil fuel production and use prohibitively expensive.
摘要:美国总统拜登自竞选以来就一直强调采取气候行动的必要性。他的政纲包括受“绿色新政”(Green New Deal)启发的政策，他上任后的首批举措之一就是发布了一项综合行政命令，呼吁采取“整个政府”的方式来应对气候危机。然后，在2022年8月，他签署了《通货膨胀削减法案》。作为美国迄今为止最重要的一项气候立法，IRA拨款3690亿美元来激励清洁能源、能源效率、电动汽车的购买，以及其他供应方面的措施，以建立对低碳技术和产品的需求。其基本理念是，如果可再生能源和低碳技术既便宜又丰富，那么市场动态将使化石燃料的生产和使用变得昂贵得令人望而却步。
