The Biden Administration's Inflation Reduction Act will marginally reduce emissions through electric vehicle deployment and fuel efficiency improvements. However, a swift increase in vehicle miles traveled for both passengers and freight will offset this progress, as highlighted in the report.
No level of government, including the US DOT, is doing enough to curb American driving habits, a key factor in reducing transportation emissions. To achieve substantial emissions reductions while permitting increased vehicle miles, both 80% fleet electrification by 2050 and complete decarbonization of the electrical grid are necessary, according to recent research cited in the report.
