From The Daily Caller: Republican Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski is working to preserve some provisions of former President Joe Biden’s signature climate bill as Republicans look for savings to pay for their reconciliation package, according to Politico.
Murkowski suggested that her party should be “taking a more cautious and conscientious approach” to repealing the bill instead of taking a “big hammer” to the green energy credits included in Biden’s trillion-dollar Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Politico reported. The IRA, which received no votes from Republicans in Congress in 2022, is facing major cuts as Republicans look for possible savings to fund President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda.
As part of the proposed GOP budget bill to advance the Trump administration’s priorities, House Republicans plan to cut billions in clean energy subsidies implemented during the previous administration, including credits for electric vehicles, “green” household products like heat pumps and energy-saving doors and windows.
“I’m pretty sure that there would be a fair number on that list, on the House side, who are hoping against hope that we in the Senate will work to soften that,” Murkowski said.
Also on the potential chopping block are credits for hydrogen production, advanced manufacturing and nuclear power production, and “transferability,” which could benefit Chinese companies, the Daily Caller reports.
Speaking of House moderates led by @RepJenKiggans calling for fixes to Ways and Means’ text, Murkowski told me “I’m pretty sure there would be a fair number on that list who are hoping against hope that we in the Senate will work to soften that.”

And @RepBrianFitz told us the changes pushed by House moderates led by @RepJenKiggans “make a lot of sense.”
“I look forward to finding common ground on these critical fixes,” the Ways and Means member said
