Save money! Protect Inflation Reduction Act clean-energy tax credits and programs

Senators Daines and Sheehy and Representatives Zinke and Downing should protect the IRA’s clean-energy measures. Here’s why: 1) Lower Energy Costs: More renewable electricity on the grid lowers our rates. Repealing the tax credits results in 10% higher electricity rates and about a $142 annual increase in household electricity bills. 2) Job Creation and Investment: The new Administration’s funding freezes halt wind/solar/hydro/battery energy storage, transmission lines, and projects like Great Falls’ Calumet plant that create jobs and economic growth. Thanks to Senator Daines who helped unfreeze Calumet’s funding! 3) Local/State Benefits: Projects contribute millions to local/state tax collections and impact fee payments annually used for roads and schools and help position Montana for next-generation energy technology leadership. 4) Cleaner Air: Installing clean-energy appliances like heat pumps improves indoor/outdoor air quality. IRA-funded programs make them affordable and cut air pollution by 40% over the next 10 years. 5) Affordable Solar: Tax credits cover 30% of the cost for residential solar + storage systems, saving homeowners $3K-$5K. 6) Wildfire Prevention: We face increasingly frequent intense wildfires. IRA-funded programs help reduce overheating carbon pollution that exacerbates wildfires. IRA funding comes from our taxes already paid. A repeal will waste taxpayer dollars on projects that have already broken ground. Ask our Members of Congress to join with other Republican colleagues who support these measures. We need a healthy and thriving domestic energy sector. See https://citizensclimatelobby.org/get-loud-take-action/.
