American households could save an average of $2,240 a year on their energy bills if we keep 2 very important renewable energy tax credits: 25D (think solar and storage) and 25C (think heat pumps and insulation). Why is this so important?

Repealing the clean energy tax credits inside the Inflation Reduction Act would equal: -lost jobs -hundreds of billions of foregone investment -more expensive electricity for U.S. households and businesses -exponentially more CO2 emissions Article by @jeffstjohn.bsky.social from @canarymedia.com

Gutting clean energy incentives would drive up electric bills
Rising energy costs are a problem in the U.S. Ending Inflation Reduction Act tax credits and ramping up fossil fuels would make it even worse.
