Senate Republicans Double Down and Target Clean Energy in Draft Tax Bill
UNITED STATES, JUN 17 – The proposal would phase out key EV and clean energy incentives, risking over 830,000 jobs and increasing household energy costs by up to $400 annually, analysts warn.
- Senate Republicans propose a draft tax bill aiming to eliminate popular clean energy tax credits and end EV incentives rapidly in 2025 in the U.S.
- This proposal follows House Republicans' May passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which also cuts clean energy incentives and EV tax breaks.
- Opponents warn that removing these credits too soon will collapse the renewable industry, raise energy costs, cause job losses, and harm climate goals.
- Abigail Ross Hopper said the bill will strip millions of families’ ability to choose solar and storage, while 77% of credit-eligible clean energy projects are in GOP districts.
- The bill’s fate depends on the Senate vote and reconciliation with the House, with President Trump targeting a Fourth of July deadline for enactment.

As Donald Trump championed “drill, baby, drill” on the 2024 campaign trail, Republicans quietly coalesced around an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy—embracing fossil fuels, nuclear, geothermal, and, a…
