Overview

  • The House Freedom Caucus warned it will oppose any Senate attempt to soften or reverse its aggressive phaseout of green energy tax credits in the One Big Beautiful Bill.
  • Senators Lisa Murkowski, Thom Tillis, Jerry Moran and John Curtis issued a joint letter cautioning against a full repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act clean energy credits.
  • A group of 13 House Republican moderates led by Reps. Jen Kiggans and Brian Fitzpatrick urged Senate leaders to enhance clean energy provisions to protect industry investment and jobs.
  • Rep. Chip Roy declared he will vote against the legislation if the Senate backslides on IRA energy subsidies.
  • Some Senate Republicans have proposed identifying over $2 trillion in spending cuts over ten years, intensifying intra-party negotiations over deficit reduction.
