A House-passed bill aimed at speeding approvals of energy projects includes language that wind and solar supporters call unacceptable. Now it goes to the Senate.
Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks held her seat by a razor-thin margin in 2024, but could see her support erode because of her vote to end incentives for renewable energy.
In an interview with POLITICO, Chris Wright insisted that the Trump administration’s efforts to stifle development of solar and wind power are not causing costs to spike.
The president is directly intervening in the talks to push for the quicker phase out of clean energy tax credits in the House bill, but that would likely face pushback from moderate GOP senators.
