Trump’s Tax Credit Executive Order Escalates His Bullying Campaign Against Clean Energy Trump’s recent executive order goes after clean energy tax credits, but states can help fight back and help clean energy projects across the finish line.

Trump’s latest executive order directs the Treasury to “build upon and strengthen” the tax credit repeal he just signed in law, potentially beyond the letter of the law.

But states can push back and make sure wind and solar projects get across the finish line:

Sen. Kevin Cramer at today's EPA event repealing Biden climate rules: We need to rip up the Clean Air Act "to beat China in the race to AI."

If you were wondering whether AI would be used to justify climate arson, it already is.

The Trump EPA just tried to repeal pollution rules for new coal power plants. These standards have been in place since 2015 without controversy.

Is the Trump admin trying to build new coal plants, in the year 2025?? The war against science and modern engineering continues. #energysky

Fueled by Lies, Trump EPA Moves to Unleash Unlimited Climate Pollution Trump is trying to gaslight the public and drag us into his war on reality by pretending climate change doesn’t exist.

Breaking: EPA just announced it's repealing carbon standards for new/existing power plants finalized by Biden, and 2015 standards for new coal plants.

The Trump EPA is now the "defender of clean, beautiful coal." Maybe they should change the agency name...

Trump promised to slash energy prices. 100 days in, they’re up—and expected to keep rising During Trump’s first 100 days in office, he enacted tariffs on energy imports, canceled renewable projects, and removed funding to help low-income Americans with their energy bills—all of which will k...

100 days in, Trump’s policies have already led to higher energy costs. Electricity prices are currently the highest they have ever been.

Wisconsin’s Billion Dollar Gas Gamble WEPCO’s proposed $1.2 billion Oak Creek gas plant is a costly mistake that would leave Wisconsinites footing the bill. Clean energy and a strong IRP process offer a solution to lower energy costs and ...

Trump's tariffs on Canadian energy will hit Midwestern consumers especially hard.

Midwest states share an electric grid with Canada, and Canadian power will now face 35% combined tariffs. Gasoline prices could go up 25-50 cents too.

Trump thinks slapping tariffs on trade partners will magically build domestic industries.

But the actual industrial policies that will build strong industries at home are in the Inflation Reduction Act, which he is trying to repeal...

As 25% tariffs go into effect on Canada and Mexico, read our piece on the effect that will have on energy bills.

Hint: gas prices won’t be going down 50%…

Trump’s Energy Price Hike: How His Tariffs Will Drive Up Costs While campaigning, Donald Trump repeatedly promised voters he would cut energy costs in half within a year. But his new tariffs are already moving energy bills in the wrong direction.

Trump promised to cut energy bills in half within 12 months.

But his new and proposed tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico would make energy prices go UP not down.

My latest piece, with @evergreenaction.bsky.social:

www.evergreenaction.com/blog/trumps-...

Almost half of US states haven't done the bare minimum to cut utility bills 24 states lack an “energy-efficiency resource standard," a regulatory framework proven to curb demand, lower costs, and reduce emissions.

24 states have not done even the bare minimum to lower energy bills with energy efficiency.

In a time of rising costs, every state needs an Energy Efficiency Resource Standard.
