The Poynter Institute’s Beat Academy and Covering Climate Now teamed up for a quick tour through the data landscape to help you tell the local story about the renewable energy tax credits on the chopping block on Capitol Hill. Many wind, solar, battery, and EV-related projects tied to incentives in the US Inflation Reduction Act are at risk, particularly across the southeastern US. We showed how you can zero in on the action in your area with just a few clicks.
Our data guide was Tom Taylor of Atlas Public Policy. Politico’s E&E News Scott Waldman gave us the political lay of the land in Washington. And Alexa St. John with AP highlighted the larger rollbacks and programs to track in the Republican legislation. Jon Greenberg of Poynter’s Beat Academy moderated the discussion.
This webinar took place on Thursday June 26, from noon to 1:15pm US Eastern Time.
