IRA's Impact on the Latino Community
-
- ⚡️ Reducing Energy Costs: The IRA has helped millions of American households lower their energy bills, with some estimates showing that Latino families can save up to $14,000 annually through energy tax credits. Programs supporting rooftop solar and energy-efficient upgrades are creating tangible benefits, leading to significant monthly savings for Latino families.
-
- ⚒️ Creating Clean Energy Jobs: In 2023, reports highlighted that Latino communities saw the launch of 43 new clean energy projects, driving $28.5 billion in investment and creating 35,105 new clean energy jobs. These opportunities are especially critical for Latino communities, offering well-paying positions in installation, maintenance, and emerging green technologies.
-
- ⚖️ Advancing Environmental Justice: As highlighted by Evergreen Action, by reducing harmful emissions and improving air quality, the IRA is improving public health in communities that have long faced environmental inequities. Cleaner air means healthier neighborhoods and a more resilient future for all.
