This Republican Wants To Resurrect Biden-Style Green Government Handouts

Republican Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick told Politico’s E&E News that he is looking to introduce legislation that would resurrect green energy incentives recently cut.

President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBBA) into law on July 4, 2025, celebrating the cuts and phase outs it made to Biden-era wind, solar and electric vehicle (EV) tax credits. The OBBBA eliminated hundreds of billions of dollars in green energy tax credits from former President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that he signed into law in August 2022.

Fitzpatrick was one of two House Republicans to split with their party and vote against the OBBBA, and he told E&E News that many of his Republican colleagues “struggled” with their vote over the green tax credit cuts.

“I am taking the lead because I did vote ‘no’ on the package,” Fitzpatrick told E&E News regarding his plans to renew the green tax credit fight. “Renewables are critical in energy independence, which is a national security issue. I don’t understand the perspective. … If you want to lower energy costs, you got to utilize every single source you have.”
