THE MORNING RANT: The Big Beautiful Bill Has Just Kneecapped Green Energy and the “EV Transition”

This is a joyous moment for conservatives and all of us who have been battling the climate hoax. With President Trump signing the One Big Beautiful Bill into law, government subsidization of electric vehicles and “green energy” has effectively been shut down.

I will have much more to write about this, and I also know that a lot of people had reservations about the OBBB because it did not suddenly fix decades of government deficit spending. But what it did do is actually eliminate some of the most egregious government spending that was in service to attacks on America’s energy independence and transportation freedom. Unlike traditional omnibus bills where Republican congressmen get funding for roads or infrastructure in exchange for Democrats getting an expansion of the welfare state, this law is slashing all sorts of left-wing programs, including the funding of Medicaid for the able-bodied who won’t work, and for Planned Parenthood.

Perhaps most significant to me is that the OBBB has killed off the “EV transition” effective almost immediately. In addition, green energy boondoggles will have to come up with a business plan that doesn’t involve taxpayer subsidization. We are also likely near the end of the environmental nightmare of wind energy, and industrial-scale solar.

Specifically:

Wind and Solar Energy Projects: Tax credits are eliminated, with the exception that projects started within the next 11 months, or those completed by the end of 2027, are grandfathered in.
Residential Solar: The 30% tax credit goes away at the end of this year.
Electric Vehicles: The $7,500 per unit federal tax credit for the purchase of new EVs is eliminated effective 9/30/2025 – less than three months! The $4,000 federal incentive for buying a used EV is also killed off.
EV Chargers: The tax credit for installing an EV charger at home is also killed off effective 6/30/2026, less than a year from now.

There is nothing in this big beautiful law that will stop a person from being true to his faith in The Sustainable Organic Church of the Carbon Apocalypse. He can still buy a Tesla or any other electric vehicle, install a car charger in his home, and produce some of the electricity on his very own rooftop solar array. None of this will be prohibited. It’s just not going to be subsidized by the rest of us. Let freedom ring.

There are still a lot of “small government conservatives” criticizing the OBBB. I’d caution fellow conservatives to be careful about nodding too vigorously with these critics who accuse the OBBB being a “tax-and-spend bill,” since we conservatives are famously anti-tax. Everyone who is losing a “green” tax credit will be facing a “tax increase,” which was really just a very special, targeted incentive subsidized by the rest of us. The elimination of tax exemptions for adversaries seeking to deny me reliable energy and transportation freedom is a “tax increase” I can enthusiastically support.

My latest piece at The Blaze is a non-political piece that ran over the holiday weekend. It’s a little bit of Americana recounting a morning I spent chatting with a wise, ex-convict on a Texas fishing pier.

“You know,” he said, “my biggest regret isn’t those lost years. It’s how it hurt my folks. They had to always try to avoid talking about family. They stopped going out much. It hurts to have to say, ‘My boy is in prison in Huntsville.’ Mom died while I was in prison, and I missed her funeral. I’ve paid my debt to society. I think I’ve overpaid. By looking out for Dad, I can try to repay a more important debt.”


The story is behind a paywall, but if you’re a Blaze subscriber I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.
