The Republican tax bill must be rejected as it would have disastrous consequences for the environment, economy, and American households. This misguided legislation would demolish key components of the Inflation Reduction Act, eliminating tax credits for clean energy projects like wind, solar, and electric vehicles by 2032. According to expert analysis, this rollback would cost over 830,000 jobs by 2030, unleash millions of additional tons of greenhouse gas emissions, and raise household energy bills by over $230 per year on average. At a time when we urgently need to transition away from fossil fuels to combat the climate crisis, this bill would cripple America's renewable energy industry and undermine our nation's ability to meet emission reduction goals. It would erase the progress made through the historic investments in clean energy spurred by the Inflation Reduction Act. Moreover, the economic impacts would be severe, eliminating good-paying jobs across numerous sectors and increasing costs for families already struggling with high inflation. For the sake of our environment, economy, and the well-being of American households, I urge you to vigorously oppose this reckless and destructive tax bill. We cannot afford to jeopardize our clean energy future and intensify the climate crisis at such a pivotal moment. Prioritizing polluter profits over the health of our planet and working families is unacceptable. Please stand firm against this regressive legislation.
