Also, I don't see you making the same arguments for #fossilfuel in your "philosophy"? That industry has had decades of tax benefits, why the hypocrisy? Is it because you are funded by them?

Alex, I think you are missing the point. First solar and batteries are the fastest to get developed and built to meet that demand. Second, just so you understand demand vs supply, EVERYONE's energy prices are about to skyrocket because you are significantly limiting supply.

Oil is a global market place. Maybe @ENERGY should reimburse the @USNavy for defending the Strait of Hormuz to keep oil prices down. Why don't you have oil companies pay a tax per barrel to reimburse that cost every year?

Congressman, let's make sure #Oil companies are reimbursing the @USNavy for securing the Strait of Hormuz too! You know they do that to keep prices down, so a simple tax per barrel to cover annual costs should work? Is that what you mean by end all subsidies?

ACTION NEEDED: Overall, the #BigBeautifulBill is terrible for the #Solar industry but we have a window of time to try to make some improvements. There are a few Amendment’s moving through the Senate. NOW is the time to call your Senators (seia.quorum.us/campaign/1322…), information is below: Amendment 2704, Sponsored by Sen. Ernst (R-IA), Sen. Grassley (R-IA), Sen. Murkowski (R-AK): 1. Reverts to the Senate Finance Committee language on commence construction and phase downs for solar and wind projects (i.e., for years in which construction begins: 2025, 100% of credit value is available; 2026, 60% of credit value is available; 2027, 20% of credit value is available; and 2028 and beyond, no credits are available); 2. Codifies current safe harbor rules for projects that have commenced construction; 3. Strikes the new excise tax; 4. Eliminates the integrated component restrictions on 45X; 5. Delays implementation of FEOC material assistance until 2026. This would allow projects time to adapt. The current Senate mark required compliance for solar projects retroactive to June 17, 2025; and 6. Extends customs user fees through 2035 to fully offset any revenue impact on HR 1. Amendment 2719, Sponsored by Sen. Hickenlooper (D-CO): 1.Delays the phasedown of the residential solar tax credit to the end of 2026. Now that we have secured these amendments, it’s time to call your Senators and tell them to support these amendments (seia.quorum.us/campaign/1322…) . The vote-a-rama will continue into the afternoon with a final vote likely in the early evening.  Keep the messaging SIMPLE! “Vote FOR Amendments 2704 and 2719.” This is a CRITICAL moment in the fight, so get on the phone!

Last week 70 + Investors representing Billions in capital investments called on Congress to protect the clean energy tax credits because they are WORKING! The current #BigBeautifulBill in the Senate is both anti-market & bad for American workers & businesses because it knee-caps #solarpower - one of our fastest growing industries at at time when we need electrons more than ever. There are "energy philosopher's" who are backed by the fossil fuel industry sharing false information trying to trick Senators from the truth. Join me and reach out to your Representative today to tell them to vote against the legislation. secureusenergy.org/
