The Senate GOP began working through Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful” budget reconciliation bill this week, and at least so far, it’s hardly deviating from the stark cuts to the Inflation Reduction Act that have already passed the House. Republicans on the Environment and Public Works Committee released their section of the bill on Wednesday evening, and it retains many of the policy repeals and funding rescissions that were in the House version.

Chris Wright is clawing back 24 grants for projects to cut emissions from heavy industry after signaling earlier this month that he was reviewing the Biden administration’s award decisions. The total lost funding comes to just over $3.7 billion, and would have helped a wide range of companies, including those in food and beverage production, steelmaking, cement, and chemicals deploy cutting edge clean energy solutions.

When the Senate returns from recess next week, it will have Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill” to contend with. There’s no doubt the chamber will try to make changes to the omnibus plan to extend and expand Trump’s tax cuts that passed the House last week.

It’s been a week of whiplash for offshore wind. On Monday, President Trump lifted his stop work order on Empire Wind, an 810-megawatt wind farm under construction south of Long Island that will deliver renewable power into New York’s grid. But by Thursday morning, Republicans in the House of Representatives had passed a budget bill that would scrap the subsidies that make projects like this possible.

Trump’s tax bill passed the House early Thursday morning, after a marathon session in the Rules Committee that began early Wednesday morning and stretched late into the night. The final floor vote came down to the slimmest of margins, 215 yeas to 214 nays, with House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris voting “present.”The clean energy tax credits, already on life support, barely made it out alive.

Trump and Wright talk about a nuclear renaissance. But so far, every policy proposal coming out of Congress would hurt nuclear: - Gutting the LPO - Phaseout 45U & tech-neutral credits - Ending transferability @robinsonmeyer wrote about this weeks ago: https://t.co/jUE9kVBLjU
Thanks to transferability, developers don't have to enter complex/expensive tax equity deals to claim subsidies. That makes energy cheaper. Due to regulatory constraints, nuclear projects mostly can't even do tax equity deals. Transferability was The Way. https://t.co/2JLSo8Tgq5
