The American Clean Power Association (ACP) has criticised the recent House of Representatives vote to eliminate clean energy tax credits, describing the move as a threat to economic and energy security. The budget reconciliation bill passed narrowly by 215 votes to 214.
ACP Chief Executive Jason Grumet said the decision would undermine job creation, economic growth and the delivery of affordable electricity across the United States.
He added: “By a margin of one vote, the House voted to retreat in our competition with China for manufacturing jobs and to weaken our technology sector in the global race for digital dominance. For the good of our country’s energy security and energy bills—this cannot stand. We urge the Senate to reject the strident House approach and pass a reasonable energy policy for the American people.”
