U.S. Loses $14-B In Clean Energy Projects Amid Policy Uncertainty

More than $14 billion in U.S. clean energy investments have been canceled or delayed so far in 2025 due to uncertainty around President Donald Trump’s proposed tax overhaul, AP's Alexa St. John, Isabella O’Malley, and Matthew Daly reported.

The credits were central to the clean energy push under President Joe Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.

According to a report from nonpartisan group E2 and consultancy Atlas Public Policy, many companies are pausing or scrapping plans amid a GOP-led House bill that would gut clean energy tax credits.

The delays have also cost an estimated 10,000 jobs.

The credits were central to the clean energy push under President Joe Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. E2 said $132 billion in clean energy projects have been announced since the act passed, not including those now at risk.

“The House’s plan, combined with the administration’s focus on killing clean energy and propping up coal and gas, is pushing companies and jobs abroad,” said E2 executive director Bob Keefe.
