The Man Behind the Republican Case for Clean Energy
Briefly

The article discusses a growing coalition of Republicans and business leaders promoting clean energy tax credits established under President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act. Key figure Andrew Garbarino, a Republican from New York, is working to protect these credits against some party factions aiming for their repeal. He is engaging fellow conservatives by dissociating the credits from the unpopular Inflation Reduction Act and framing them as aligning with former President Trump’s policies, hoping to secure broader support amidst intra-party divisions.
Garbarino insists that the clean energy tax credits, now a bipartisan issue, will not be fully repealed despite opposition from some factions within the Republican Party that aim to cut government spending and climate regulations.
He attempts to pitch the tax credits to fellow conservatives as something that aligns with Trump’s policies, asserting that separating them from the unpopular Inflation Reduction Act will aid in gaining support among skeptics.
