In Arkansas: "If another 15,000 MW of solar generation resources were developed in the state...Even under this extreme level of solar development...solar would use less than 1% of the 13.7 million acres of agricultural land." https://t.co/jRlwCdIocQ

Thank you @SenJohnCurtis for visiting the @fluenceenergy battery module facility today in Salt Lake City, UT. Energy tax credits are driving U.S. manufacturing, and this facility is another example of companies creating high-paying American jobs and a resilient supply chain that are 100% based in the U.S.

ACP STATEMENT: House Passage of Cuts to Clean Energy Tax Credits a Threat to Economic and Energy Security

“This morning the House voted to immediately end the clean energy tax incentives that provide economic growth, good-paying jobs, and low-cost electricity to millions of Americans. By a margin of one vote, the House voted to retreat in our competition with China for manufacturing jobs and to weaken our technology sector in the global race for digital dominance."

BREAKING: The House's reconciliation bill would dismantle the most successful industrial onshoring effort in U.S. history, SEIA analysis find.

❌287 factories
❌292,000 jobs

NEW in ME: Sen. Murkowski rallies support to rethink House GOP “big hammer” IRA cuts. In exclusive interview, the Alaska centrist sees groundswell of support from moderates for taking a more “cautious and conscientious approach” to clean energy tax credits

[James Bikales @jamepdx]

Now free to read: @SiegelScribe and I break down how the Ways and Means reconciliation bill would gut much of Democrats' signature climate law, the Inflation Reduction Act.

Some conservative groups are already saying it goes too far.

[Governor Cox @GovCox]

Today, we celebrated some major energy wins for Utah — expanding transmission, advancing nuclear power, and strengthening our grid.

These new laws and partnerships are part of Operation Gigawatt: our mission to double the production of reliable, affordable energy.

[Joshua Siegel @SiegelScribe]

Latest in ME on funding freeze chaos baffling Congress. EPW Chair Capito tells me she still hasn’t been able to convince Trump EPA to undo a pause on funding for IIJA clean school bus program. “It’s a job creator," she told me. "I hope we can get that straightened out."

[Julia Pyper @JMPyper]

Faster. Cheaper. And increasingly coupled with storage. Renewables are on the rise, making up 90% of new U.S. capacity in 224, per @FERC data.

An analysis showcases the transformative impact of tax credits and clean energy investments: In the next 10 years, America will see $1.9 T in economic growth, $13.7 M new jobs and a 4x return on investment to taxpayers.

PSA: We’re thrilled to announce that the Torus team has installed an absolute stunner at La Diana! 🌟

This achievement was made possible thanks to the Salt Lake Solar Powered Communities project, led by Salt Lake City’s Sustainability Department in partnership with @utahcleanenergy CC: Logan Mitchell

A huge thank you to the La Diana family for their support. Let’s continue to support our local grocery stores—they are the heart of our communities! 🛒💚

Bills, Action, and Better Air - join us at @PatagoniaSLC on January 14 at 6pm for a deep-dive into the energy, air quality, and climate bills on the horizon for Utah's legislative session. RSVP is required at https://t.co/wS9q9ZKf8w

[Utah Clean Energy @UtahCleanEnergy]

We're thrilled that the State of Utah was awarded $75 million from the U.S. EPA to implement locally-driven solutions that reduce emissions, support communities, and advance clean energy. https://t.co/6M7BdgkYJl

[Salt Lake City Green @SLCgreen]

Replacing car trips with bike trips is a great way to improve local air quality! 🚲 That’s why Salt Lake City is offering a limited number of incentives to support our community in purchasing e-bikes.

It's Wattsmart Wednesday! The team @fox13 are here LIVE at the Climate Innovation Center to show you how we are powering our all-electric, ultra-energy efficient building with 100% solar power and battery storage. Tune in now! https://t.co/35y2P1ALun

From me & my colleague Josh Craft in the @Deseret op-ed:

Opinion: Utah is having the wrong conversation about our energy future

[Mayor Erin Mendenhall @slcmayor]

Salt Lake City is leading by example. The completed Elektron Solar farm will help @slcgov operations achieve net-100% renewable electricity by 2030!

I want to thank DESRI, @ParkCityGovt, @Deer_Valley, @UVU, @SummitCountyUT, @RMP_Utah & others who helped make this possible.

[Mayor Erin Mendenhall @slcmayor]

Driving sustainability is about thoughtful choices. The Climate Innovation Center is a testament to our collective power to make impactful changes. It's an example of what we must keep doing—design & retrofit buildings to ensure future generations thrive in SLC.

[University of Utah @UUtah]

Saddened to learn of the passing of Ted Wilson, alumnus and director of the @hinckleyinst from 1985-2003. You will be missed, Ted!
