The Senate is currently holding a marathon vote series on <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/senate-debate-trump-one-big-beautiful-bill\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">unlimited amendments<\/a><\/span> to the bill.<\/p>\n<p>These wind and solar projects would have to pay the tax if a certain percentage of the value of their materials are sourced from prohibited foreign countries, like China. The provision is ostensibly designed to boost domestic manufacturing, but developing these projects by working around Chinese components would be cost prohibitive, and some data and AI companies \u2014 which require prodigious amounts of energy \u2014 could turn to China or other countries for reliable and affordable power sources, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/cleanpower.org\/resources\/analysis-on-senate-reconciliation-bill-text\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">clean power experts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate bill also scales back or eliminates renewable energy tax breaks that have been in place since 2005 and revised and expanded a few times since then, including in the 2022 <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/biden-signs-inflation-reduction-act-into-law-climate-health-care-taxes\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Inflation Reduction Act<\/a><\/span>. The most recent expansion contained tax breaks for individuals for electric vehicles, wind and solar development, and energy efficient appliances and provided <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/green-power-markets\/summary-inflation-reduction-act-provisions-related-renewable-energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">tax credits<\/a> for clean electricity-generating projects that went into service from 2023 through the end of 2032.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both the Senate and the House would end the renewable energy tax credits, but the Senate would accelerate the timeline in the House version, which would end the tax credits for renewable energy projects placed in service after 2028, a year later than the Senate would.<\/p>\n<p>Eliminating the existing tax credits would likely kill up to 72% of the new wind and solar installations that were to be completed in the U.S. over the next decade, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/rhg.com\/research\/ways-and-means-brings-the-hammer-down-on-energy-credits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">analysis from Rhodium Group<\/a>, a research firm.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who until Saturday was silent on the bill after his social media <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/elon-musk-slams-trump-one-big-beautiful-bill-as-disgusting-abomination\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">spat<\/a><\/span> with President Trump over the House version, said of the Senate bill that it was &#8220;Utterly <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/musk-renews-attacks-on-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-says-it-will-destroy-million-of-jobs\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">insane and destructive<\/a><\/span>.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future,&#8221; he said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1939051424995786839\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">post<\/a> on X.

Some asked for help easing the hit their states would take as a result of cancelled projects, job losses and higher energy prices.<\/p>\n<p>The renewable energy industry, manufacturing unions and even some conservatives also criticized the new tax.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Conservative energy expert Alex Epstein, advocates ending the green tax credits, but he appeared to be taken by surprise by the excise tax, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AlexEpstein\/status\/1939086020789838317\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">saying in a post on X<\/a>, &#8220;I just learned about the excise tax and it&#8217;s definitely not something I would support.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Chamber of Commerce also quickly condemned the tax.<\/p>\n<p>Neil Bradly, the Chamber&#8217;s executive vice president, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NeilBradleyDC\/status\/1939144995505586300\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said on social media<\/a>, &#8220;taxing energy production is never good policy, whether oil &amp; gas or, in this case, renewables.\u00a0 Electricity demand is set to see enormous growth &amp; this tax will increase prices.
