Representatives from these green groups are set to meet with members of Congress as part of a broad push to protect Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) green energy tax incentives, according to a press release.
Republican lawmakers have floated cuts to IRA spending along with dozens of federal initiatives to reallocate funds and align them with President Donald Trump’s agenda for broad immigration enforcement, bolstering reliable energy, and cutting taxes for Americans.
Over 100 meetings have been scheduled with lawmakers from both parties, featuring members from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), the Business Council for Sustainable Energy, and the National Hydropower Association, among others, according to the press release.
