"We find that the Inflation Reduction Act helps drive 13-55% of more solar capacity, 25-65% more wind capacity, and 30-400% more battery capacity in 2030," King said.Many forces could throw off all of these projections. That’s at the macro level. Problems at the micro level are also likely, said Lori Bird, director of renewable energy at the World Resources Institute, a global research group focused on sustainable technology.
