“The bottom line: The OBBB raises energy costs for households and businesses, slashes clean energy investment, disrupts both new and planned energy infrastructure, and leads to higher U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.” Check out their analysis: evolved.ghost.io/impacts-of-t... (2/2)

Impacts of the One Big Beautiful Bill on the U.S. Energy Transition

EER's latest REPEAT modeling shows how the OBBB derails the energy transition by raising emissions, increasing household energy bills, and slowing clean energy investment.
