Mere hours after the House took an ax to clean energy tax credits in its budget bill, Senate Republicans already suggested that their counterparts had taken those cuts too far.
The House budget so severely constrains the Inflation Reduction Act’s clean energy tax credits that it will likely jeopardize significant energy and manufacturing investments — most of which are in Republican districts.
“During the next few days I’ll be talking to my colleagues really about why we should look at this from a surgical perspective and not a sledgehammer,” said Utah Sen. John Curtis, a Republican who has supported many of the Inflation Reduction Act’s tax credits and could prove a pivotal vote on the final product.
