Trump's Energy Secretary Chris Wright called on Republican lawmakers to keep IRA clean energy tax credits for nuclear and geothermal in place through 2031, easing on House cuts, @kelseytam reports https://t.co/dRFRQHJcLK

Looking forward to interviewing @SenatorHeinrich at POLITICO's Energy Summit tomorrow. Expect a timely discussion on GOP's megabill, future of IRA clean energy tax credits, public lands, permitting and more. RSVP here. @POLITICOLive https://t.co/kIRuBnasGh https://t.co/chtf9PHQor

Tillis just told me there was no IRA tax credit discussion at Senate Finance meeting at the White House. He said it was more a big picture discussion and he didn’t think it was right venue to bring up his concerns

ME this am: Senate GOP prioritizes IRA credits for "baseload" energy sources, while few are publicly defending wind and solar. Interestingly, EPW Chair Capito tells us she's looking to protect credits boosting Form Energy's big battery project in her state. W @kelseytam https://t.co/xfUuGqP02v

Sen. Lankford, Republican of Okla— a major wind producer — tells me he’s comfortable quickly phasing out IRA credits for wind/solar, but wants a longer runway for “baseload power” like nuclear, geothermal “If you’re a data center you’re not looking for more intermittent power.”

Today, we released an open letter urging the Senate to support investments in baseload power sources — such as nuclear, geothermal, hydropower, and energy storage — in reconciliation. Proud to be joined by @oklo, @fervoenergy, @FormEnergyInc, @NatlHydroAssoc, and many others.🧵 https://t.co/UOm5njMViG
