๐ Context is King
The U.S. House narrowly passed a sweeping tax and spending package proposed by former President Trump. Framed as a middle-class win, the bill instead offers substantial tax relief to the wealthy and corporations, while slashing social programs and green energy credits. The result? A projected $4 trillion (2025) addition to the national debt and a bitter partisan standoff in the Senate.

This legislation revives familiar conservative strategies: shrink the welfare state, favor business interests, and hope economic growth will offset debt. But this time, the stakes seem higherโwith student debt forgiveness rolled back, millions facing healthcare loss, and the climate agenda reversed.

Green energy took a direct hit. The repeal of EV and solar credits could stall progress toward a sustainable economy. Markets responded fastโsolar stocks plunged, and clean tech investors are bracing for policy whiplash.

This also marks a rollback of key provisions from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA, 2022), which had directed $369 billion (2022, GIIA*) toward clean energy. Experts warn that undoing these incentives not only hurts climate targets, but also the U.S.โs global competitiveness in energy transition.
