⚡OMB cuts DOE renewables and DOT infrastructure by $17.8 billion

Federal solar and wind incentives drive down utility bills by forcing fossil fuel companies to compete with cheaper clean energy alternatives. Families lose potential $110 annual savings while utilities gain freedom to maintain higher rates without competitive pressure from renewable sources that offer consistent low-cost electricity production.

Manufacturing, installation, and maintenance careers in solar, wind, and battery industries face elimination when federal support disappears, affecting communities from turbine assembly plants to rooftop installation businesses. Workers lose middle-class employment while $500 billion in planned economic investment gets redirected to other countries that maintain clean energy development programs.

Solar and wind facilities eliminate coal and gas emissions that cause childhood asthma, heart disease, and premature death in communities downwind of fossil fuel plants. Cutting clean energy programs increases respiratory illness and healthcare costs while accelerating climate change that brings extreme weather, flooding, and agricultural disruption to American communities.

Domestic renewable energy insulates American families from oil price spikes, natural gas shortages, and international energy supply disruptions that historically caused economic recessions. Eliminating renewables makes America more vulnerable to foreign energy manipulation and commodity price volatility while abandoning energy independence that protects economic stability.
