Madam Speaker, I rise to celebrate the Inflation Reduction Act. This law not only makes a massive $370 billion climate and energy investment nationwide, but it could generate up to 5 million new clean energy jobs across America. Madam Speaker, Texas is number one in wind energy and number two in solar energy. Texas led all States in overall renewable energy production in the first quarter of 2022. There are nearly 240,000 Texas workers in the clean energy industry. This number will soon increase because of the estimated $66 billion investment in Texas' clean power industry between now and 2030. More Texas workers will be able to gain employment across the solar, wind, and other clean energy industries. President Biden and House Democrats are not only fighting the climate crisis, but we are making sure workers can transition into good-paying clean energy jobs. We are putting people over politics, and it is about jobs, jobs, and more jobs. ____________________
