What role can US leaders at the state level play in the clean-energy transition? States have the unique opportunity to access financial support from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) to achieve net-zero targets while supporting inclusive growth and improving energy affordability, write McKinsey senior partner Adi Kumar and coauthors. In a new article, they outline three actions leaders can take to initiate or accelerate their states’ decarbonization plans, and explain how acting as a convenor, planner, coordinator, or catalyst can help ensure their states meet net-zero goals efficiently and equitably. Give it a read and take action.
