Biden’s climate law got zero GOP votes. Some Republicans think its energy tax credits are worth saving

As President Biden’s signature climate law spurs energy investments in Republican-led districts, many Republican members are getting on board with keeping at least some of its tax credits — including the Speaker of the House.

The law, which included a historic investment in climate-friendly energy sources, got no GOP votes when it passed in 2022.
 
But now even Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is saying he may want to preserve some of the credits.

“You’ve got to use a scalpel and not a sledgehammer, because there’s a few provisions in there that have helped overall,” Johnson told CNBC.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
