TL/DR: For clean energy, the Senate Finance Committee draft is (1) objectively terrible compared to current law and (2) objectively better than the even more terrible-er House bill. Both things can be true.

The Senate Finance committee just dropped their draft text for the Republican budget bill. www.finance.senate.gov/chairmans-ne... Like the House, it is hot trash and terrible for America. But it is marginally better for clean energy credits. Some key details... 🔌💡 🔌🚗

Electric bills are rising faster than inflation, up 4% on average. Higher natural gas prices, grid investments, and growing demand (fueled in part by data centers) outstripping new supply are all to blame. www.wsj.com/business/ene... GOP repeal of clean energy tax cuts will raise prices further. 🔌💡

US power plants will be able to emit more dangerous toxins such as mercury and unlimited greenhouse gases under major new rollbacks by Trump. Health experts say this will cause "the biggest pollution increases in decades" and many thousands of deaths. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

tl;dr the One Big Beautiful Bill will actually cost the country money, hike your bills, cause blackouts, destroy manufacturing, and jeopardize national security. Congress and the President are pursuing American Energy Impotence.

Trump promised $2 gas. But if the “big, beautiful” bill passes, gas prices could rise, not fall. Why? Killing EV tax credits means 20-40M fewer EVs on the road = more demand for gas = higher prices. It’s a hidden gas tax. By @dananuccitelli.bsky.social yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/06/10-w...

The advanced geothermal company Fervo says it drilled a 15,700 foot well and reached temperatures of 500°F (260°C) in just 16 days of drilling. That’s a big improvement from last year, when it drilled an 8000 ft well and reached 370°F temps in 41 days. www.linkedin.com/posts/timlat...
