An event of Heatmap News’s Heatmap House.

According to Heatmap News, the Inflation Reduction Act changed everything for U.S. climate policy. What comes next might, too. From the politics shaping America’s energy future to the investments and technologies that will define it, leading voices across politics, government, business, and climate tech will take stock of what the IRA built — and what comes next.
