This Earth Day, We Invite You to Take Action!
There are so many attacks on our environment at both the state and federal level – but here is one action you can take to celebrate Earth Day!
Right now, Congress is considering eliminating clean energy tax credits to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Unlike the tax cuts that only benefit the rich, these clean energy tax credits go toward helping everyday residents lower their energy bills, enjoy healthy, clean air, and prepare for natural disasters. These tax credits also benefit businesses, bringing new, clean jobs and factories to our state.
Tell your legislators to prioritize NC communities over billionaire tax write offs!
More on Clean Energy Tax Credits
The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund is currently tied up in the courts after an unlawful attempt by the EPA to withhold funding. GGRF is an essential $20 billion investment in residential, commercial, and industrial clean energy projects. The delays to this fund jeopardize shovel-ready projects that would improve air quality, lower energy bills, and spur local economic growth in communities that need it most.
Clean Energy is Vital to Our Economy
Businesses have benefited greatly from manufacturing credits like 45X and 45Y. These incentives are bringing new, clean jobs and factories to our state, building toward America’s goal for energy independence. Without them, companies that have committed to building a clean energy future may be forced to scale back or shut down, putting workers and our climate goals at risk.
Trump’s war on clean energy has already killed or threatened more than 42,000 jobs — over 1,000 per day — to bolster his billionaire Big Oil donors. At the same time, energy costs are skyrocketing! While Trump promised to lower costs, his chaotic policies are raising costs.
