Overview

• On June 21, Trump posted on Truth Social that he “hates” the green tax credits in his bill, calling them “a giant SCAM” and denouncing windmills as “junk” largely made in China.
• The Senate’s version of the Big Beautiful Bill phases out wind and solar credits gradually and trims EV and home energy incentives, in contrast to the House’s immediate cuts.
• Trump’s denunciation has bolstered conservative Republicans demanding total termination of green energy tax breaks and pressing Senate leaders to overhaul the provisions.
• Moderate GOP senators such as Chuck Grassley have defended wind energy as vital for U.S. energy independence and resisted stringent rollback timelines.
• Progress on the bill stalls as the Senate parliamentarian removes key deficit-reduction measures and fiscal hawks insist on deeper spending cuts.
