US EditionOn Budget Vote, Murkowski Says She Was ‘Hung Out to Dry’ and Stuck Between 2 Bad Options
ALASKA, UNITED STATES, JUL 21 – Senator Murkowski says the Trump administration reversed negotiated protections, risking delays for Alaskan wind and solar projects amid $500 billion cuts to clean energy funding.
- On Friday, Senator Lisa Murkowski expressed to local media her disappointment after a tax credit agreement she helped negotiate was overridden by a subsequent decision made in Washington.
- The Trump administration issued an executive order ending clean energy tax credits despite a prior yearlong window deal that Murkowski and others had negotiated to support Alaska projects.
- This move risks exacerbating Alaska's Railbelt energy crisis caused by declining natural gas, threatening wind and solar projects planned to reduce costly diesel fuel usage.
- Murkowski characterized the administration’s move as a ‘‘complete insult’’ and ‘‘irresponsible,’’ while the American Clean Power Association criticized it as a deliberate attempt to hinder the growth of clean energy.
- Murkowski’s experience highlights tensions within the GOP and suggests potential setbacks for clean energy initiatives and Alaska’s local energy needs amid ongoing federal policy shifts.
