​     From the Desk of Thomas Polich:

Dear Renewable Energy Friends and Colleagues:

November 2024 means election results, and here is what we know:
 

• Trump won the 2024 election.  Changes to the political landscape raise valid questions about future energy policy.
• Energy demand is on the rise for the first time in decades, and Trump has been outspoken about energy costs and need arising from AI, crypto, and industry.
• Though Trump has spoken poorly of the IRA, the legislation supports known policy priorities: he has pledged to deliver the “#1 Lowest Cost Energy and Electricity on Earth,” embraced nuclear, and promised to support domestic manufacturing and supply chains.
• Clean energy installations grew significantly during Trump’s first term, despite tariffs on certain imported components for clean energy projects. Significant use of tariffs could slow the pace of project development in reliant categories.
• Tax credits for wind and solar have been used for decades and extended by every partisan configuration of the House, Senate, and Presidency. Credits were extended and expanded during Trump’s first term.
• Passed in 2022, the IRA makes significant use of tax credits, which are extended until 2032 or until when the electric power sector emits 75% less carbon than 2022 levels. Material changes to the credits would require new legislation. Guidance has already been issued for most components of the IRA. An incoming administration would have latitude to make changes to guidance only within the confines of the statute.
