ACORE Statement on House Passage of Reconciliation Bill

July 3, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The following is a statement from Ray Long, President and CEO of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), following House passage of the reconciliation bill:

“Today’s vote represents a missed opportunity to sustain momentum towards strengthening American energy security, lowering energy costs for families and businesses, and unlocking hundreds of thousands of new, good-paying jobs across the country.

“We are in a global race – not just for clean energy leadership, but for dominance in the technologies that will define the future, including artificial intelligence. China is aggressively investing in clean energy and digital infrastructure because they understand that energy security and economic competitiveness go hand in hand. This bill should have matched that urgency.

“Despite this setback, the clean energy industry remains committed to building the future. We’re already driving more than $300 billion in private investment, delivering reliable power, and creating jobs in every region of the country. Stable tax policies would have allowed us to do even more.

“We’re deeply grateful to the members of Congress who stood up for American innovation, affordability, and energy security. And we will continue to work with leaders on both sides of the aisle who believe that our energy strategy must include every tool we have – wind, solar, storage, and all technologies that move our country forward.”

We’re Running Out of Time

There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:

• World fascism. (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)

• Environmental collapse.

• Malicious use of AI.

• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.

• Nuclear war.

Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth? One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.

Obviously, James Carville has been wrong before, but it appears that he’s onto something here.

An ever-increasing number of Americans are realizing that Trump is criminally insane, and is leading this nation to destruction.

It’s a pleasure to see that Dr. Brian Cox has people so popular, having joined the ranks for Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and a few others. This phenomenon of celebrity physicists if one of very few bright spots in our modern world.

I would qualify what he says at left as follows: the only people who hate the economics here are those invested in fossil fuels. Clean energy and transportation are already huge industries, and they’re growing at an amazing pace–even in the face of heavy suppression by Big Oil and Donald Trump.
