As a retired health care professional turned community activist, my life’s mission has always been to advocate for well-being, whether it’s for my clients or the environment. This is why I am thrilled about the Inflation Reduction Act and the promising clean energy future it holds for North Dakota.

For the past eight years, I have enjoyed the emission-free experience of driving an electric vehicle. By eliminating toxic pollutants and greenhouse gases from my daily commute, I can breathe easy knowing I am contributing to a cleaner environment. Not to mention, the economic advantages are remarkable – I save over $200 for every 1,000 miles I drive.

The Inflation Reduction Act opens doors for my neighbors and friends to embrace a cleaner and more cost-effective mode of transportation. With generous tax incentives for new electric vehicle owners, the initial cost becomes as affordable as traditional gas-powered cars. Moreover, the Act invests in a state-of-the-art charging infrastructure, ensuring seamless travel and charging convenience across North Dakota.

North Dakota’s expansive landscapes and natural beauty are a true treasure. The Inflation Reduction Act not only helps residents reduce their transportation expenses but also safeguards our stunning environment for future generations to cherish. Let’s work together to ensure our children and grandchildren can enjoy these breathtaking views for years to come.

The Inflation Reduction Act paves the way for cleaner air, a thriving economy, and a state we can all take pride in. Let’s seize this opportunity to create a brighter, cleaner North Dakota together.
