Report: GOP mega-bill could kill America's clean energy boom
An analysis of where clean energy projects are at risk of losing tax credits—and potentially their financial viability
The recently passed "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) represents one of the most significant threats to America's clean energy transition in recent history. In a report Cleanview published this morning, we find that more than 600 GW of planned renewable projects are now at risk—equivalent to half of America's entire electricity generation capacity.
The country can’t afford to lose this planned capacity. Electricity demand is rising faster than it has in decades due to data center growth, electrification, and extreme weather. Cutting off the country’s fastest growing sources of generation capacity would raise energy prices for American families and businesses. One recent analysis by Energy Innovation projects that wholesale electricity prices would rise by 50% by 2035 if the bill becomes law.
Losing this planned electricity generation capacity also threatens one of the Trump administration’s top goals: beating China in the race to develop artificial intelligence. Less generation capacity would make it difficult for new data centers to come online. The data centers that are able to connect would be forced to pay higher prices.
The passage of OBBBA and subsequent cancellation of clean energy projects would also threaten jobs across the country. The growth of solar, wind, and battery storage has created millions of jobs in the US. If projects are cancelled developers would be forced to lay off employees. They would also buy less equipment from clean energy manufacturing facilities, which could result in manufacturing layoffs.
Takeaways from our analysis
Using Cleanview’s project tracker, we analyzed thousands of planned projects across the country to see where projects are at risk of being cancelled. Here’s what we found:
More than 600 GW of clean energy projects scheduled for completion in 2028 or later could lose tax credit eligibility under the new law, threatening their financial viability.
Storage projects face the highest risk with 265 GW of capacity planned for 2028 and beyond, followed by solar at 223 GW and wind at 114 GW.
California has the most clean energy projects at risk, owing to its large clean energy pipeline and lengthy development timelines. Nearly 80% of all planned clean energy projects in California are at risk.
In Texas between 36 and 128 GW of clean energy capacity is at risk. But many active projects in the state are relatively safe given how quickly developers can build projects in the state.
Across the Northeast—in the PJM, NYISO, and ISO NE markets—91 GW of clean energy capacity is at risk.

This is an entirely one sided discussion. What you did not cover was the CCP vulnerabilities found in the solar and battery builds swarming the grids. More than 80% of solar and 90% of batteries have tools within that are CCP military owned. Such as CATL. CATL a CCP military aligned company that has already been flagged as a national security threat in the united states. Yet I have EVIDENCE of this software within the batteries. It is know for a FACT. Attached is two beginning sources of this evidence. The first is the supreme court testimony on infrastructure/grid and specifically mention CATL, solar, and batteries. Second is Present Danger China which has panelists such as sam feddis the retired cia clandestine operative. To say, the big beautiful bill taking away their funding begins to limit their availability into our grid and the potential to collapse us. Also, a 3000 ACRE solar farm that is only operable for approximately 5 hours a day (sun shining for 10+ is irrelevant) compared to base load product of coal is non comparable. Even more so if it is nuclear. Also cleaner. Throw in the vulnerabilities, safer as well.
Please reach out if you would like the evidence listed above including any I have from FERC, NERC, CISA, EPRI, and more.
