New EV charging math: 15,000 miles annually EV: 90% at home. 0 minutes. 10% fast chargers. 10 stops, 5-10 hrs. Often coincides with breaks/eating/multitasking. Gas: 60 gas station trips. 15 minutes each (driving there, parking, fueling). 15 hrs. You save time with an EV.

Odd to see this ad on the day @EPA is proposing to reduce emissions from cars and trucks. Reducing food waste is important, but the data does not support the statement that its emissions are greater than all transportation combined. @IBM

But in the US, transportation was 27% of 2020 emissions (a year with a lot less travel due to COVID). epa.gov/ghgemissions/sources…

And globally, transportation amounted to more than 16% of emissions in 2016. ourworldindata.org/emissions…

In 2021 automakers endorsed 50% of all new cars being zero emission in 2030. Reportedly, this rule would call for 54% in 2030. What happened between 2021 and today? Enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act which included the largest incentives for EVs in US history.
The EPA proposal, to be released Wed., would set GHG emissions limits for 2027-32 model years that are even stricter than goals the auto industry agreed to, calling for half of new car sales to be EVs by 2030. My story w @AP auto writer @tkrisher apnews.com/article/biden-ele…

This is an excellent piece on how the IRA will allow EPA to require more effective GHG controls under the Clean Air Act.
The Inflation Reduction Act famously uses many carrots—and almost no sticks—to reduce emissions. But that’s not true of the federal government more broadly. The new law affirms and strengthens the EPA’s ability to crack down on carbon. I wrote about it: theatlantic.com/science/arch…

Sens Carper, Schumer, Manchin, Speaker Pelosi & others in Congress deserve all the credit for the Inflation Reduction Act. Its a historic step to address climate change. They were helped by dozens of staffers including me. Thanks @JodyFreemanHLS for the opty to talk about the IRA
New CleanLaw! @JodyFreemanHLS & @1gregdotson chat about the IRA, which he helped negotiate, draft, and facilitate its passage. They discuss reconciliation and US GHG emissions in the near and not so near future, as the Act promotes cleaner tech innovation eelp.law.harvard.edu/2022/08…

The Inflation Reduction Act passes with 220 aye votes. The comprehensive climate legislation passed by the House in 2009 had 219 aye votes.

Any speculation on use of the “magic minute” today?
Today @EPA is thought of solely as a regulatory agency for #climate. By enacting #IRA, Congress will open the door for EPA to change its relationship w/ American society. The agency will respond w/ partnerships, incentives, & regs. EPA can become an agency for climate solutions.

I am especially pleased that our methane emissions reduction program, environmental justice block grants, and climate bank provisions were approved. They will ensure a safer climate, create good-paying jobs, and lift up communities across the country.
🚨 The Environment and Public Works Committee's groundbreaking climate and equity provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act comply with the Senate rules and are able to proceed to the floor.
