Abstract
In the revised bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding for electric vehicles shrank by 90% to just $15B, while the $363B allocated for clean energy tax credits vanished entirely, significantly weakening the climate focus of the originally proposed legislation. Yet, emphasis on carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) remains alive and well, thanks to rare bipartisan support for the technology that hopes to save millions of jobs in the industrial sector—which is responsible for 25% of U.S. emissions—and hard-to-abate sectors such as aviation and shipping.
