GOP Bill's Hidden Tax Threatens Renewable Energy Growth

Senate Republicans passed a spending bill that nearly eliminated tax incentives for renewable energy projects, including a last-minute removal of a proposed excise tax on solar and wind, potentially hindering the growth of clean energy in the US despite the sector's importance and existing technological maturity. The bill also imposes strict deadlines for renewable projects to qualify for Biden-era tax credits, risking delays and job losses, amid ongoing political conflicts over energy policies.
