WASHINGTON DC (6/18/25) – The Senate Finance Committee released its draft text for the budget reconciliation bill this week, notably preserving many of the “clean energy” tax incentives that House Republicans have dramatically scaled back.
American Energy Alliance President Thomas Pyle issued the following statement:
“The Senate Finance proposal extends subsidies for solar and wind energy through at least 2030 — with some subsidy provisions lasting until 2040. This directly contradicts President Trump’s campaign pledge to ‘terminate the Green New Scam.’
“The Senate should not water down the House’s plan to quickly repeal the Biden-era green giveaways, which – if not repealed – would add trillions to the deficit and increase the cost of energy for hard-working families. Americans should urge their Senators to – at the very least – stick to the House’s plan to quickly repeal the IRA. There is nothing beautiful about a Big Beautiful Bill that is loaded with special interest corporate welfare.”
