Some Republicans in the U.S. House are attempting to persuade House Speaker Mike Johnson not to initiate efforts to eliminate energy tax credits. None are Oklahoma Representatives.
The Republicans who want to save the credits were led by New York Rep. Andrew Garbarino who believes a repeal of the energy tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act would undermine the growth in the nation’s energy sector.
The Hill identified the House members who joined Garbarino as GOP Reps. David Valadao (Calif.), Lori Chavez-DeRemer (Ore.), Marc Molinaro (N.Y.), Erin Houchin (Ind.), Anthony D’Esposito (N.Y.), Mike Lawler (N.Y.), Nick LaLota (N.Y.), Young Kim (Calif.), Jen Kiggans (Va.), John Curtis (Utah), Don Bacon (Neb.), Tom Kean Jr. (N.J.), Dave Joyce (Ohio), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (Iowa), Juan Ciscomani (Ariz.), Mark Amodei (Nev.) and Buddy Carter (Ga).
In a letter to Speaker Johnson, the GOP Representatives argued, “Energy tax credits have spurred innovation, incentivized investment, and created good jobs in many parts of the country – including many districts represented by members of our conference.”
