The Inflation Reduction Act is a Trojan Horse for dirty, climate- and people-killing oil and gas profiteers.

According to AP News, "The climate measure President Joe Biden signed Tuesday bypasses the administration’s concerns about emissions and guarantees new drilling opportunities in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska. The legislation was crafted to secure backing from a top recipient of oil and gas donations, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, and was shaped in part by industry lobbyists." [https://bit.ly/AP-IRA] Deal with the Devil, gonna get burned. The People's Justice Council is creating a set of interfaith resources to dump this dangerous side deal and ensure that People and Planet are not sacrificed for Profit.
