Trump Administration’s New Tax Credit Guidance Is “Another Senseless Attack on Clean Energy”

"The Trump administration’s new tax credit guidance represents yet another senseless attack on clean energy that will drive up electricity costs, make our energy grid less reliable, harm our economy and lead to more deaths and disease from harmful air pollution. The guidance places significant new obstacles on solar and wind projects that represent 95% of new generation being added to the grid today, and that are helping meet America’s growing energy needs while making electricity more affordable and reliable, creating jobs, reducing pollution and improving public health. This is a destructive effort to turn back the clock on clean energy progress and undermine the vital support for clean energy that Congress has clearly enacted into law. Environmental Defense Fund will vigorously oppose this action to make daily life for millions of people less safe and less affordable."
