The latest tax bill proposed by Senate Republicans seeks to phase out tax credits for clean energy and home energy efficiency but at a slower pace compared to the version passed by House Republicans. While Senate leaders describe it as a more moderate approach, critics, including Senator Ron Wyden, argue that it would still cause major harm to the clean energy sector. This bill could greatly affect consumers and businesses dependent on these tax credits, impacting America's transition to renewable energy. The Edison Electric Institute viewed the proposed timelines as a positive step toward balancing business needs and fiscal responsibility.
Senate Republicans proposed to phase out clean energy tax credits more slowly than the House bill but still significantly cut electric vehicle incentives.

The Edison Electric Institute expressed cautious support for the Senate's proposal, emphasizing that it provides more reasonable timelines for phasing out energy tax credits.
