The Senate Can Still Save Valley Jobs And Health
Did you know there are hundreds of clean energy projects slated to happen in the Central Valley from IRA investments? But if the Senate passes the Reconciliation Bill without the clean energy tax credits, we stand to lose thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in the Valley alone.
The investments spurred by clean energy tax credits will go a long way toward improving our air, controlling electricity rates and stabilizing our climate chaos. Cuts will hurt many of us in the Valley if they become law.
A rollback of tax credits for home upgrades like rooftop solar would also be a blow to all of us who’ve been using these tools to cut energy bills. Incentives have made it easier for homeowners to install solar panels, save money, and even help stabilize America’s power grid. But those benefits—and the local businesses that depend on them—are in jeopardy if Congress moves forward with these cuts.
Throughout the country, Republican-led districts are especially benefitting from investments in manufacturing, solar, wind, hydrogen fuel and battery storage projects. But there is pressure to vote along party lines. Call or email your Senators. Ask them to work harder across the aisle to help constituents.
