Washington, D.C.– In response to House Republicans releasing their budget resolution, the League of Conservation Voters, released the following statement from Senior Government Affairs Advocate, David Shadburn:

“House Republicans are showing once again that they are only looking out for their Big Oil and Big Polluter allies by extending tax cuts for the wealthiest, while proposing cutting the clean energy investments that are already creating jobs, lowering costs and making the U.S. a world leader in this growing sector of the global economy.  These clean energy investments are benefitting both red and blue districts across our country – passing this resolution would set us on a path to increasing costs for hardworking families, halting the boom in manufacturing and jobs, and putting our health and safety at risk. Instead of fighting among themselves over how extreme their cuts to the social safety net should be, Republicans should be holding President Trump and Elon Musk accountable for illegally stealing funds meant to help working families and passing a bipartisan budget that keeps energy costs low for families and protects our environment.”
