Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
This bill (Energy Freedom Act) amends the Internal Revenue Code to repeal a wide set of federal tax credits, deductions, and payment/transfer rules that support clean energy, low‑emission fuels, electric vehicles, energy efficiency, carbon sequestration, and related technologies. It also removes certain incentives for biofuels, sustainable aviation fuel, and modifies rules related to petroleum taxation.
Liberals stress climate and equity harms; conservatives stress subsidy removal and market freedom.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is highly specific in its statutory amendments and conforming changes, with clear effective dates.

Most repeals take effect for property, production, or transactions after December 31, 2025 (or January 1, 2026 for specified sections).
A sweeping, ideologically charged repeal of many popular federal incentives with limited compromise features is unlikely to clear both chambers absent major modification or inclusion in a broader negotiated tax bill.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is highly specific in its statutory amendments and conforming changes, with clear effective dates. It is weaker on fiscal acknowledgment, transitional detail for existing credits or pending claims, and post-enactment measurement or oversight.

These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Liberals stress climate and equity harms; conservatives stress subsidy removal and market freedom.
Strongly opposed.
The bill dismantles many federal tools that accelerate emissions reductions and expand clean energy access.
It likely undermines climate goals, renewable industry jobs, and incentives for low‑income clean technology adoption.
Mixed to somewhat opposed.
The bill reduces tax expenditures and some market distortions, but its broad, rapid repeal risks economic disruption in clean energy supply chains.
A centrist will weigh fiscal benefits against transitional costs and legal/contractual complications.
Generally supportive.
The bill ends many federal subsidies for clean energy and related tax preferences, aligning with principles of smaller government and market competition.
Repeal of certain petroleum taxes (and removal of special payments) is also favorable.
