House Republicans target clean energy tax credits and pollution rules in budget proposal

May 12, 2025

Republican Rep. Brett Guthrie of Kentucky, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce panel, said his committee’s bill, unveiled Sunday, would return $6.5 billion in unspent funds intended for climate programs included in the 2022 law. In an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, he said the plan ”ends spending on Green New Deal-style waste” and claws back money “headed for green boondoggles” such as grants for environmental and climate justice.
