Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the significant impact of the "Big and Beautiful Act" passed under Trump's administration, which ends long-standing federal support for solar and wind energy, favoring fossil fuels instead. This act is seen as a major victory for Trump, as it dismantles Biden's legacy of promoting renewable energy [1][3]. Summary by Sections Impact on Renewable Energy - The "Big and Beautiful Act" tightens tax incentives for clean energy, which have been crucial for the development of renewable energy since their introduction in 2005 and 1992. The act stipulates that solar and wind projects operational after 2027 will no longer receive these incentives, indicating a potential decline in clean energy investments in the U.S. [3][4]. - According to Rhodium Group, since the Inflation Reduction Act was passed in 2022, the corporate sector has invested $321 billion in U.S. clean energy projects, with an expected additional investment of $522 billion. However, the new act is likely to severely impact the profitability of these projects [3][4]. Electric Vehicle Sector - The act terminates the $7,500 tax credit for new electric vehicle purchases and the $4,000 credit for used electric vehicles, which is expected to decrease the penetration rate of electric vehicles in the U.S. market [3][4]. - Experts indicate that the act will harm not only U.S. electric vehicle companies but also allies like South Korea and Japan, which have invested in U.S. manufacturing but lack cost advantages compared to Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers [4]. Foreign Entity Restrictions - The act imposes strict restrictions on foreign entities (FEOC) involved in clean energy projects, limiting tax credits for companies that engage with prohibited foreign entities or source materials from them. This aims to exclude Chinese companies from clean energy subsidies [5][6]. - The act's FEOC provisions are broader than those in the Inflation Reduction Act, affecting more Chinese companies, including private enterprises, and limiting indirect investments through technology licensing and material sourcing [5][6]. Economic Implications - The act is expected to freeze project financing in the clean energy sector, with significant implications for the U.S. energy landscape. The time required for clean energy projects to become operational may lead to financial losses and project cancellations [7]. - If clean energy tax incentives are removed, the construction of solar, wind, and storage projects could decrease by 57% to 72% by 2035, while electricity demand continues to rise, leading to increased energy costs for consumers and businesses [10][11]. Global Climate Governance - The article suggests that as long as the Republican Party remains in power, global climate governance will face challenges, with China and Europe likely to take a more prominent role in climate initiatives. The U.S. withdrawal from climate commitments could hinder global efforts to address climate change [11].
