According to the Georgetown Environmental Law Review, "the Republican call for re-allocation of funds represents the continuation of the industrial agriculture status quo. The re-allocation plan preserves this status quo in two primary ways. First, by attempting to distribute the IRA funds to programs unrelated to climate conservation, GOP lawmakers are conserving the existing practices of food production which have contributed to the climate crisis. Second, by extending the timescale of the funding, the re-allocation plan seeks to perpetuate those practices over a timescale of at least 25 years."
