Oppose Cuts to Clean Energy Programs and Climate Protections

The proposed H.R. 1 budget reconciliation bill represents a catastrophic attack on our nation's clean energy future and environmental protections. By gutting tax credits and rebates for clean energy, electric vehicles, and home energy efficiency upgrades, this legislation will drive up energy costs for American families by over $400 per year on average. It will also eliminate the historic investments in renewable energy and green jobs from the Inflation Reduction Act, putting hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs at risk. Moreover, the bill eviscerates crucial environmental safeguards that shield communities from air pollution, extreme weather events, and other climate change impacts. It strips away emissions standards, monitoring programs, and grant funding that disadvantaged areas rely on to improve resilience and public health. This fiscally irresponsible legislation prioritizes fossil fuel industry giveaways over the wellbeing of the American people. Our nation cannot afford to dismantle its commitment to a sustainable, affordable energy transition that creates economic opportunity while protecting the environment. I urge you to reject H.R. 1 and instead support a fair budget that upholds environmental justice, cultivates clean energy jobs, and safeguards the health of all communities. Working families deserve policies that improve their lives, not sacrifice their future for corporate handouts.
