Renewables urge Dems to quickly pass BBB

Build Back Better with Del. Charniele Herring | Arlington Democrats

 

At least 6 renewable energy companies that have or had projects in Oklahoma were among the more than 260 firms making the economic case for Congress to pass the stalled Build Back Better Act.

The 260 sent a letter this week to Democratic leaders, arguing that each month of delay results in a nearly $2 billion loss of economic activity.

“That means missed economic opportunities in energy transition communities. That means fewer jobs in domestic mills producing steel for solar and wind projects,” the letter said. “And it means a delay in building the American manufacturing base and workforce into a global clean energy powerhouse.”

Among the 260 were Alliant Energy, ALLETE Clean Energy EDP Renewables, Enel Green Power, EDF Renewables and Cypress Creek Renewables, firms with wind power projects in Oklahoma.
