This article is intended to be a useful resource about the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) energy subsidies and is broken into three sections:

  1. The first section explains why the subsidies should be repealed, while also providing some useful background and context.

  2. The second section provides four charts with brief summaries of over 50 different IRA subsidies, categorized by issue area, with helpful links to IRA statutory sections and agency web pages about the programs. While almost everything listed is subsidies, there are a few exceptions, including a tax (i.e., methane tax). We have included these provisions because they are additional IRA “green” provisions that should be repealed. This section also includes concise analysis about a small number of specific subsidies.

  3. The third section includes another chart that organizes the same programs in the second section by the implementing agency.
