The solar industry released an analysis Tuesday showing steep potential job losses as a result of the Republican tax cut, energy and security spending bill.
The study is part of an effort from the Solar Energy Industries Association and other lobby groups to convince the GOP to rethink tax credit rollbacks affecting wind and solar in particular.
SEIA’s research, released as senators weigh changes to the House-passed megabill, says the majority of 330,000 potential job losses would be in states won by President Donald Trump in 2024.
“From Texas and California to Florida and Illinois, lawmakers will put Americans nationwide out of work if this legislation becomes law, plain and simple,” said SEIA CEO Abigail Ross Hopper. “We hope that U.S. senators won’t let their constituents lose their livelihoods on their watch.”
