New Law Threatens Clean Energy Progress
Reading
Congress made a new law about money and taxes. This new law will cut spending for clean energy projects. This means people may pay more for solar panels and other green things.
The new law helps oil, coal, and gas companies a lot. These fuels make the Earth warmer and cause pollution. Burning these fuels makes air dirty and hurts people's health.
The law also cuts tax help for clean energy like wind and solar. Some projects may stop, and people could lose jobs. Homes could also cost more to get energy.
Old laws helped people buy solar panels and batteries for their homes. These things saved them money and helped the environment. These things are expensive, and tax help made them easier to buy.
The new law also stops tax help for buying new electric cars. Electric cars are important to reduce pollution. Without the tax help, electric cars may be too expensive for some people.
