House GOP Sides with Extremists to Betray American Manufacturing in Signature Tax Bill

Washington, D.C. — Today, Climate Power executive director Lori Lodes issued the following statement in response to the House Ways and Means Committee’s release of their long-awaited tax bill:

“This Republican repeal bill is a direct assault on American manufacturing and American-made energy. Any member of Congress who votes for it will have to answer to their constituents about why they sent local jobs to China and forced energy bills through the roof. At a time when we need more energy to meet rising demand, Republicans have a choice to make: will we seize leadership in the industries that will dominate this century, or simply give up on American innovation and forfeit the future of our economy to China?”

Today, Climate Power held a press call with U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez-Masto and IBEW Local 1245 Business Representative Hunter Stern to discuss the catastrophic impacts of repealing clean energy incentives. You can find a full recording of the call HERE.
