Latest Senate Bill Only Harms Clean Energy When More is Needed
Statement from EDF Vice President for Political and Government Affairs Joanna Slaney
(Washington, D.C. – June 28, 2025) – “Senate Republicans overnight made clear that their intention is to punish the clean energy industry despite America’s need for more energy to meet growing demands. Their latest bill text would severely curtail credits for wind and solar and penalize future development of these affordable and easy-to-build resources with new taxes. This devastating combination will lead to higher energy prices, serious issues with grid reliability, job losses and the shattering of business confidence. It’s not serious policymaking, and only harm will come from this."
