Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Putting the brakes on the U.S. clean energy boom.<\/strong> The proposal would effectively end tax credits that have catalyzed more than $600 billion in private investment since 2022, supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs nationwide \u2014 from battery plants in Arizona, wind manufacturing in Virginia and solar installation businesses across the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Repealing tax credits that help make cleaner vehicles more affordable and allow families to skip the gas pump.<\/strong> This would dramatically increase purchasing costs, reduce consumer choices and invite more pollution into communities.\u00a0The draft legislation also would eliminate tax credits that expand charging infrastructure, including in rural and low-income areas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attempting an unprecedented use of the reconciliation process to reverse regulations for cleaner and more fuel-efficient cars<\/strong>. The point of budget reconciliation is to provide an expedited method for passing the budget, <em>not <\/em>for enacting policy changes by reversing rules. EPA\u2019s standards alone will prevent more than seven billion metric tons of climate pollution from getting into our air through 2055. They will provide significant reductions in deadly particle and smog-forming pollution and will provide $13 billion in annual health benefits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ending tax credits that help people reduce their electricity bills and keep the lights on.<\/strong> The proposal would eliminate credits that help make homes more energy efficient and support the installation of clean energy, including rooftop solar and batteries. With electricity demand expected to surge \u2014 driven by data centers, manufacturing reshoring and electrification \u2014 these incentives are essential to supplying power reliably and affordably. Independent analysis shows that fully repealing the tax incentives could raise household electricity bills by as much as 20% in some states by 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eliminating loans that drive American innovation.<\/strong> On the chopping block is a decades-old Department of Energy program that provides loans or loan guarantees to U.S. companies working to make cleaner, more affordable energy and grow domestic manufacturing jobs. The program\u2019s demise would make America weaker just as global competitors ramp up their own investments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inviting more pollution into communities by cutting grants and loans.<\/strong> The proposal would eliminate programs that promote healthy, thriving communities by creating jobs and reducing harmful pollution, particularly in places with too much dirty air already. These programs finance community-wide solar power and energy storage, cleaner heavy-duty trucks at ports and air pollution monitoring to help protect community health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Delaying a fee for wasteful methane releases. <\/strong>The bill would give the largest polluting oil and gas companies a 10-year reprieve from paying a fee on wasteful methane pollution, which would cause irreversible damage to our climate and public health. Methane has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide over the first 20 years after it reaches the atmosphere, and cutting methane is the quickest way to slow the rate of climate change in the near term.<\/p>\n<p>The bill is expected to move to two more committees, the House Budget Committee on Friday and the House Rules Committee next week, before going to the full House of Representatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(This post was written by EDF Vice President for Political and Government Affairs Joanna Slaney) Two key U.S. House committees this week advanced a tax plan that effectively ends incentives for clean energy and electric vehicles, undermining an American-made energy boom while raising costs for businesses and families and threatening people\u2019s health with more pollution. &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"coauthors":[108026],"class_list":["post-24798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
