#29 US Climate Bill: $369 billion for the climate (with James Murray from Business Green)

The Inflation Reduction Act promises a $369 billion investment in climate action - the largest in U.S. history - and could drive significant emissions reductions. Its passing is both surprising, controversial, and full of compromises. To get the gist of it, we sat down with the founding editor of BusinessGreen.com, James Murray, who explains why he thinks the legislation's climate provisions will "turbocharge" US climate action.

Also in this episode, we talk about the Net Zero Festival 2022 on 28-29 September, where some of the world's foremost thinkers will meet to discuss what it takes to accelerate and expand the net zero transition. Go check them out at https://netzerofestival.com/2022/en/page/home.
