USA Today published a centrist article reporting on how the U.S. oil and gas industry stands to rope in big profits as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act despite its big investment to fight climate change. The bill guarantees new drilling opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska which some economists believe will increase carbon dioxide by up to 110 million tons annually by 2030.
A left-leaning article from Politico focuses on how Republican-led states will reap major benefits from the Inflation Reduction Act, despite their critiques of the climate package. Red states have some of the largest wind and solar energy farms in the U.S. and will benefit from increased job growth and lower ratepayer prices.
A right-leaning article from Fox News focuses on how a Fox News poll shows that many Americans believe that the U.S. economy has still not recovered. The article notes that “nearly three-quarters of registered voters said the U.S. economy is still struggling, while the remaining quarter believed the worst financial struggles are over.”
