Repeating because it's so good: $500 billion for climate tech and clean energy over the next decade! "The Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS Act, and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act form an unprecedented US industrial policy with a focus on strategic industries and a set of tools designed to accelerate production up and down the supply chain. " That's why we are building an ecosystem for cleantech entrepreneurs in Georgia. #cleantech #climatetech #innovation

Permitting reform is critical to advancing everything from energy security to decarbonization efforts. If we want to unlock the full potential of public investments in America's infrastructure, we need reforms that will make building in the U.S. faster, simpler and more flexible. https://lnkd.in/d8ZVQefw

🔵🔋🌍As the nation's largest energy consumer, the United States federal government plans to curb greenhouse gas emissions across its expansive portfolio of over 350,000 federal buildings. In a pioneering move, the Biden Administration and Department of Energy recently announced the Climate Smart Buildings Initiative. This initiative aims to upgrade federal buildings across the country with emerging and sustainable technologies in an effort to meet the Biden Administration's Federal Building Performance Standard, which sets an ambitious goal to cut energy use and electrify equipment and appliances in 30 percent of the building space owned by the Federal government by 2030. In this article, we delve deeper into the CSBI, illustrating how this initiative will facilitate an increase in public-private partnerships. #publicprivatepartnerships #renewableenergy

#GDOWrapUp: As our last wrap-up spotlight, we want to highlight the historic investments in America’s electric grid. Under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the Biden-Harris Administration and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) are deploying historic levels of transformative funding to: 💲 Invest in our nation’s infrastructure ⚡ Build a better grid across the country 🌱 Support our clean energy economy by incentivizing the deployment of clean technologies and lower energy costs The Grid Deployment Office (GDO) oversees more than $26 billion in federal funding to improve the resilience and reliability of the electric grid and help power get to communities where and when it is needed. This year, we have made tremendous progress together by collaborating with states, agencies, tribal entities, partners, organizations, communities, and regions to create and put powerful national solutions into action.
