This bill is an abomination.
Stunningly, the new Senate budget bill contains a NEW tax on wind & solar power projects. Avoiding the tax depends on positive demonstration that projects dont violate material assistance rules that is next to impossible to demonstrate. Based on my calcs, could raise taxes on wind & solar projects by up to:
~11% for utility scale solar
~8% for residential solar
~18% for on and offshore wind projects
That comes on top of ending a 30-50% tax cut for wind and solar projects. So this bill could RAISE TAXES on the most important new sources of electricity supply in the USA by at least roughly 40-70%!!
That is utter insanity!
