Clean energy spending boosts GOP districts. But lawmakers are keeping quiet as Trump targets incentives
Briefly

Billions in clean energy investments have flowed to Republican districts, largely driven by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Despite this financial boon, GOP lawmakers are largely silent on whether they support the continuation of tax incentives for renewable energy, which Trump has labeled as a scam. The IRA has spurred significant investments in clean energy sectors across Republican-held districts; however, an overwhelming majority of representatives remain unwilling to break from Trump's directive to reduce these incentives, underscoring a tension between local economic interests and party loyalty.
Republican lawmakers, despite benefiting from billions in clean energy investment, remain reluctant to oppose Trump's call to dismantle incentives for renewables.
The Inflation Reduction Act has sparked a clean energy investment boom, yet many GOP representatives are hesitant to publicly support its benefits over Trump's agenda.
