Washington, D.C. — Ahead of today’s reconciliation markups by the House Ways & Means and Energy & Commerce Committees, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) issued the following statement from Vice President of Government Affairs Sara Chieffo:

“Make no mistake. This Ways and Means reconciliation bill is a full repeal of vital clean energy tax incentives that are bringing affordable energy onto the grid, creating good jobs across the country, revitalizing U.S. manufacturing, and making us more competitive. The extreme proposal from the Energy and Commerce Committee includes huge giveaways to polluters that would lead to dirtier, more unhealthy air for our children and communities around the country, and higher energy costs for everyone.

Families and businesses will be harmed deeply by this legislation, and Big Polluters and billionaires are the only ones who come out ahead. The House must reject this bill that would only add to the chaos manufactured by Trump and his allies and protect our communities, our environment, and our future generations.”
