ACORE Statement on Senate Reconciliation Draft

June 16, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) issued the following statement from ACORE President and CEO Ray Long after the Senate Finance Committee released draft legislative text as part of the Congressional budget reconciliation process:

“The Senate Finance Committee proposal is a premature rollback of solar and wind tax credits. This draft is a major setback to American energy dominance, and risks jeopardizing billions of private investments that are currently benefiting communities throughout the country. This represents a retreat from the certainty and scope the market needs to make the energy investments needed to meet escalating electricity demand. Without changes, this bill will increase energy prices for consumers, threaten thousands of good-paying jobs, and all but guarantees we forfeit the AI race to China. Congress has a narrow window to get this right. We urge lawmakers finalize a bill that utilizes all energy technologies, and honors existing pro-growth policies essential for strengthening American competitiveness.”

Prioritizing the relative importance of addressing America’s social woes is, to be sure, an inexact science.

Our war vets are living on the streets, dying of preventable diseases. We may never another free and fair election. Clean energy, which was once making significant progress in decarbonizing our energy and transportation sectors, is being shot to ribbons by the current presidential administration.

But goddamn it! We need to start solving problems that don’t exist, like drag queens in our schools.

College students have been protesting en masse against U.S. aggression abroad and suppression of human rights domestically since the 1960s. These institutions and their students cite “free speech,” as guaranteed by the First Amendment, as the basis for this basic American right.

Now, with the stupidification (my word) of this nation, this has suddenly become controversial.
