Reading Bill McKibben's musings on the President's signature legislation, I was dismayed to learn that not only are credits for clean energy and jobs being removed... the bill includes new taxes on solar and wind, expected to cost households $110 more per year. Oh - it adds subsidies for coal, too.

Lowering families’ energy costs and making our air cleaner should be something we all agree on. This reckless bill to gut clean energy and pollution reduction programs – all to fund tax breaks for billionaires. We will keep fighting back.
