    • Pennsylvania stands at a crossroads when it comes to jobs, health, and climate. The IRA has brought historic investments in clean energy and climate resilience - creating opportunities for healthier communities and stronger local economies. However, H.R. 1, the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” now threatens to rollback these gains by reducing or eliminating the clean energy tax credits that families and businesses count on to lower costs, create jobs, and improve health. This educational event unpacks what the IRA means for Pennsylvania’s communities, highlight the risks posed by H. R. 1, and explores how state level action can help protect and maintain clean energy progress. Attendees will leave with knowledge and tools to understand what’s at stake, how federal and state policies shape our future, and how Pennsylvanians can take action to advance climate and health opportunities across the Commonwealth. 

      Learning Objectives:

      1. Describe the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and its role in clean energy in Pennsylvania.
      2. Discuss how H. R. 1 - the One Big Beautiful Bill Act could reduce or eliminate clean energy tax credits originally provided through the IRA.
      3. Explore how nurses can take action at a state level to help mitigate potential rollbacks and support clean energy investments to advance climate goals locally.
