Republicans Divided Over Future of Biden's Climate Law
As Republicans gain control, internal debate emerges on preserving key clean energy investments from Biden's climate legislation.
- President-elect Trump aims to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act, threatening $435 billion in planned clean energy projects.
- A significant portion of these projects are located in Republican districts, creating economic stakes for GOP lawmakers.
- Some Republicans, including Rep. Buddy Carter, advocate for selective cuts rather than a full repeal to protect district investments.
- The Inflation Reduction Act has driven major investments in electric vehicles, renewable energy, and manufacturing jobs.
