House budget bill effectively kills US clean energy boom The House budget bill that narrowly passed in an early morning vote on Thursday would effectively put the brakes on a clean energy production boom in the United States spurred by tax credits enacted in 2022.

🚨The House just passed a dangerous anti-environment budget bill that guts clean energy tax credits – all to fund tax cuts for billionaires. It threatens hundreds of thousands of jobs, raises energy costs & halts clean energy projects. We can’t afford to go backward. #SaveCleanEnergy #WAClimateAction
