Clean Energy: Bipartisan Support for Economic Growth and Energy Independence A group of 21 House Republicans, led by Congressman Andrew Garbarino, is urging lawmakers to preserve clean energy tax incentives in the upcoming budget bill. These leaders recognize the critical benefits of clean energy in meeting the U.S.’s growing energy demands, supporting economic development, and achieving energy independence. By maintaining these tax incentives, we can accelerate the deployment of renewable energy projects, create #jobs, and reduce reliance on #fossilfuels. Clean energy solutions offer faster deployment compared to traditional infrastructure like coal or natural gas power plants, and they don’t depend on these finite resources. This bipartisan support underscores the importance of clean energy in shaping a sustainable, secure, and prosperous energy future. #CleanEnergy #EnergyIndependence #EconomicDevelopment Laura Sherman Mike Casey Malcolm Bambling Emilie Oxel O'Leary Katharine Hayhoe Nada Ahmed Jay Lipman Cam Leclerc

As always, the budget comes down to priorities. However it shakes out, the budget needs to balance with projected income. We must get the interest payments and non-Constitutionally mandated programs reduced so that the economy can return to high levels.
"The growing pushback against eliminating the IRA’s hundreds of billions of dollars in tax credits and other incentives — which have largely benefited GOP-controlled districts — will complicate efforts by House Republicans to slash federal outlays without shrinking Medicaid spending as they seek to offset the tax cuts in their budget bill."
In DC today Russ Bates carrying our industry's message and keeping the pressure on. Grateful for those that signed on.

I think its quite likely many (but not all) of the manufacturing tax incentives and ITC components stay unchanged. The loans program on the other hand is likely going to get cut.

Great news. The Texas ERCOT grid continues to set all time records in solar and wind power delivery in March 2025! Will need a lot more power in Texas for supporting potential data center / AI expansions and to eventually operate new aluminum smelters and steel plants.
“We need the projects that are currently under development to be brought online so we can continue the President’s ‘America First’ agenda,” added Garbarino, who previously led a letter last fall with 17 other Republicans urging leadership not to gut the credits. “These [credits] are helping the president accomplish what he said he wanted to do in his campaign, and that was to make America an energy dominant country.”
