US EditionHouse Republicans target clean energy tax credits and pollution rules in budget proposal
- House Republicans proposed a budget in May 2025 aiming to rescind key clean energy tax credits and cut funding for EPA environmental programs.
- The budget plan seeks to reverse parts of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, which had funded emissions reduction and clean vehicle incentives.
- The proposal targets tax credits for electric vehicles worth up to $7,500 and home clean energy credits, which have spurred billions of dollars in claimed benefits.
- Abigail Ross Hopper stated the cuts would undermine consumer choice and devastate efforts to grow domestic solar manufacturing, calling them a repeal of homeowner clean energy credits.
- If enacted, the plan could increase electric vehicle costs, reduce federal support for emissions-related projects, and align with a goal to fund tax cuts by cutting climate programs.
