 Save the ITC - Reject the "Midnight Amendment" to H.R. 1

This amendment poses an existential threat to America's energy future, economic stability, and grid reliability. If enacted, it would drastically alter the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for solar, wind, and battery storage projects, leading to the cancellation of nearly half of all planned new generation capacity. This means hundreds of thousands of lost jobs, billions in lost investment, higher electricity prices for consumers, and a less resilient grid. We need to urge our Senators to recognize the severe and lasting damage H.R. 1 will inflict and to take immediate action to remove or amend the provisions that undermine the energy sector and the critical economic benefits it provides.

Suggested phone script

(Before you call, have your Senator's name ready and be prepared to give your name and zip code.)

"Hello, my name is [Your Name] and I am a constituent from [Your City/Town], [Your State], zip code [Your Zip Code].

I am calling today to express my extreme concern about a proposed amendment within the H.R. 1 reconciliation bill, which recently passed the House. This amendment, if it becomes law, will have devastating consequences for our state's energy future, economy, and job market.

Specifically, I am referring to the changes proposed to the Investment Tax Credit for solar, wind, and battery storage projects. Experts estimate that this will lead to the cancellation of nearly half of all planned energy projects, resulting in:

- Over $371 billion in lost investment in our nation's power grid.
- Hundreds of thousands of American jobs lost, including many in manufacturing and construction.
- Higher electricity prices for consumers, potentially increasing costs by 25-30%.
- A less reliable and less resilient electrical grid, hindering economic growth, especially for critical sectors like data centers and advanced manufacturing.
- Billions in lost property tax revenue for local communities and lost land lease payments for farmers.

[Senator's Last Name], I urge you to recognize the severe and widespread negative impacts of these proposed changes. It is crucial that the Senate takes action to either remove these harmful provisions from H.R. 1 or amend them to ensure the continued growth of renewable energy.

Investing in energy infrastructure is investing in our future, our economy, and our national security. Please do everything in your power to protect the Investment Tax Credit and ensure that these vital projects can move forward.

Thank you for your time and consideration of this urgent matter. I look forward to hearing about Senator [Senator's Last Name]'s efforts to address this issue."
