The House Votes. The House will come back to session tomorrow for a day to vote on the Inflation Reduction Act. According to the Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, the bill will pass and be sent to the President (i.e. the House is voting on the version passed by the Senate). This will end the week with a significant victory for the energy sector including segments beyond solar and wind but ultimately accelerating the path to enable a renewable-based, more resilient energy transition.
