US emissions went down by around 15% between 2007 and 2019, while GDP per person went up around 25%. They also reduce air pollution and benefit public health. He could have added that economic growth and quality of life don’t necessarily go together. In short, maybe we can have our cake and eat it too.

Primarily, these have focused on the 2007 EPA regulations, which were the first step in the phase-in of diesel engine standards meant to cut particulate emissions by more than 80 percent and smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NO X ) emissions by 90 percent. Industry can’t even agree with itself about this effect. Source: ERM 2022 ).

IRA clean energy investments also will protect public health by cutting key toxic air pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide, by more than 50 percent by 2050, and drastically reduce fine particulate matter, which will save hundreds of billions of dollars in 2035 alone from avoided premature deaths.
