Congress Repealed Federal Clean Energy Incentives! How to Act Before It’s Too Late

The One Big Beautiful Bill is a big bad deal for U.S. households, businesses, and the climate. The law repealed numerous clean energy, efficiency, climate, and electrification incentives and funding, among other major changes. Energy Innovation’s modeling shows that the law will result in the U.S. foregoing 340 gigawatts of new electricity capacity by 2035, and an increase in wholesale electricity prices by 74 percent by 2035.  America will also lose $980 billion in cumulative GDP and around 760,000 jobs by 2030. Two experts from Advanced Energy United discuss the law, its impacts on clean energy companies and consumers, and what people and businesses can do to take advantage of expiring tax credits before they’re gone.
