LCV Statement on Department of Treasury’s Guidance Continuing Its Attack on Clean Energy

Washington, D.C.– In response to the Department of Treasury releasing new commence construction guidance that is intended to restrict clean energy development, the League of Conservation Voters released the following statement from Vice President of Government Affairs, Sara Chieffo: 

“This new guidance continues the Trump administration’s extreme assault on affordable clean energy in order to do the bidding of Big Polluters. At a time when energy demand is increasing, we should be looking to get the most affordable and easiest to deploy energy–clean energy– on the grid, not halting its development. Clean energy solutions are not only popular, but also help lower utility bills for hard-working families and communities across the country. Now more than ever, we need to prioritize energy solutions that keep costs low, protect the health and safety of our communities, and protect the environment.”
