Volts Podcast Spreads the Word on Schools & the IRA: Hey schools, go get your IRA tax credits!
David Roberts, host of the Volts podcast, featured an in-depth conversation with UndauntedK12 co-founders Sara Ross and Jonathan Klein about the transformative potential of new Inflation Reduction Act tax credits to help schools across the country upgrade to clean energy technologies.
The episode delves into the dual role of schools in the climate crisis as they experience its harmful impacts while also contributing to emissions. Aging infrastructure, extreme heat, and poor indoor air quality were identified as key challenges, with historically marginalized communities often bearing the brunt.
Our discussion explores how billions now available through the IRA can help schools switch to clean energy technologies, including heat pumps, solar panels, and electric buses, potentially saving millions in energy costs while creating healthier learning environments.
The discussion also covers barriers to adoption and emphasizes the need for awareness, planning support, and additional investment to ensure all schools can benefit from these opportunities. Check it out and please share with others!
