Schatz plans to highlight the progress made possible so far by the Inflation Reduction Act, which was signed into law a year ago. The law \u2013 the biggest climate action in history \u2013 invests in clean energy, helps lower energy costs for Hawai\u2018i families, and aims to cut U.S. carbon pollution by 40 percent in 2030.\n\n\u201cA year ago, Congress passed the biggest climate action in American history with the Inflation Reduction Act. The law made historic investments to dramatically reduce emissions, accelerate the clean energy transition, and make our communities more resilient to the impacts of climate change,\u201d said Senator Schatz. \u201cA year in, the results have already exceeded our most hopeful projections. And none of the doom and gloom predictions made by fossil fuel companies and other big corporate interests have come to pass. The IRA is creating hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs, unleashing a manufacturing renaissance not seen in years, and helping shore up communities to be more resilient to extreme weather. The IRA is proof that big, bold climate action is not just possible, but it benefits everyone. It\u2019s good for the environment and it\u2019s good for the economy.\n\n\u201cThe IRA can and should be a blueprint for the rest of the world for delivering bold climate action. We no longer have to imagine what will happen. Climate action works for everyone \u2013 we did it and so should other countries,\u201d Schatz continued.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.schatz.senate.gov/news/press-releases/schatz-to-attend-un-climate-conference-in-united-arab-emirates"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5663220547139645, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
