As your constituent, I am writing to voice my strong support for clean energy and clean energy manufacturing tax credits (48E, 45Y, and 45X). These credits are important for our state's economy, maintaining affordable energy, and the protection of birds. The reconciliation bill before the Senate would effectively eliminate these credits by making them unworkable, especially for wind and solar energy. I urge you to protect these credits by ensuring they remain in effect for all clean energy resources through 2032.
In the last four years alone, these tax credits have directly contributed $441 billion in investments and nearly 400,000 jobs. Eliminating the tax credits puts all of this at risk, driving existing projects and new investments to other countries. As shown by independent analysis from Energy Innovation, the economic impact in our state would also be devastating (https://energyinnovation.org/report/one-big-beautiful-bill-act/).
These credits also lower monthly electricity bills for many families. If these credits were eliminated, average monthly electricity bills are expected to increase by over 9% in the next year, which independent analysis shows will significantly impact our state (https://cebuyers.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/IncreasesByState_NERA030525.pdf).
At a time when American families have spoken up in support of clean air, water, and lands, Congress should not eliminate incentives for clean energy.
Congress should focus on lowering costs, not increasing them. I hope you will vote to provide a better future for my family and our environment by protecting these credits.
