GOP moderates seek flexibility on green subsidies |
A group of 13 House Republicans is asking for more flexibility for climate-friendly tax credits than what's in the party's current budget bill, underscoring the difficulty of getting the entire party on the same page. |
In a written statement posted by Rep. Jen Kiggans (R-Va.) on the social platform X, the 13 Republicans ask House leadership to "consider three thoughtful changes" to the legislation that phases out a significant chunk of Democrats' tax credits for low-carbon energy sources. They point to provisions that are expected to make it difficult for energy companies to actually claim the credits during this phaseout period. Specifically, they ask for more flexibility on newly proposed supply chain requirements and a provision that could make it more difficult for projects to get financing. They also ask for more time, saying the credit phaseout should be based on when projects "start construction" rather than when they're "placed in service." "The last thing any of us want to do is provoke an energy crisis or cause higher energy bills for working families," they said. It's not entirely clear whether any of the members would be willing to vote down the bill over their disagreements. Read more at TheHill.com. |
