Big Beautiful Bill: Tax, subsidy cut on clean energy trigger outrage
Washington: The US Senate's proposed cuts to clean energy subsidies and the introduction of a new tax on wind and solar energy in its version of President Donald Trump's tax and spending bill have drawn searing criticism from business and labour groups since they were unveiled over the weekend, with some arguing the moves could lead to power shortages, raise power prices and kill jobs. The pushback, which includes a swipe from Trump ally and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, comes as senators started voting on a potentially long list of amendments to the bill on Monday, giving renewable energy advocates on both sides of the political spectrum a last window to push for changes. "Taxing energy production is never good policy, whether oil & gas or, in this case, renewables," said Neil Bradley, policy director of the US Chamber of Commerce, in a post on X over the weekend. "Electricity demand is set to see enormous growth & this tax will increase prices. It should be removed." "This would be incredibly destructive to America!" Musk posted on X, saying the cuts could endanger the development of energy-hungry artificial intelligence technology, among other things. Trump has said he intends to maximise US energy production, with a focus on fossil fuels, in part to ensure the power industry can supply the AI industry's growth. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo But he has also promised to wipe out subsidies for renewables. The Senate bill would roll back incentives for wind, solar, batteries and other clean energy technologies created by President Joe Biden's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, and add a new tax on these projects if they cannot prove their products are made without Chinese parts. Energy secretary Chris Wright on Monday seemed to brush off warnings about the loss of generation capacity amid soaring demand. "The more we load our grid with intermittent generation, the worse the grid performs during times of maximum demand," he posted on the social media platform. Sean McGarvey, president of the North America's Building Trades Unions, which represents over 3 million construction workers, blasted the bill's impact on jobs. "If enacted, this stands to be the biggest job-killing bill in the history of this country. Simply put, it is the equivalent of terminating more than 1,000 Keystone XL pipeline projects," he said in a statement, referring to an oil pipeline project blocked by Biden's administration. Republican leaders are rushing to overcome internal fights over the massive tax and spending package. Senate Republicans were still at odds Monday over how much to cut from Medicaid and other social safety-net programmes. Trump remained in contact with lawmakers Monday, as he was over the weekend, said an official who added the White House is optimistic the president would get the legislation to sign by Friday.

Trump officials say Harvard violated civil rights of Jews
The Trump administration said a US investigation found that Harvard University violated civil rights law in its treatment of Jewish and Israeli students, further endangering federal funding for the school. "Harvard has been in some cases deliberately indifferent, and in others has been a wilful participant in antisemitic harassment of Jewish students, faculty, and staff," the govt said in a letter Monday to the university's president, Alan Garber. "Failure to institute adequate changes immediately will result in the loss of all federal financial resources." The finding ramps up pressure on the oldest and richest US university less than two weeks after President Donald Trump said he was nearing a deal with the school following months of attacking it. His administration has scrapped more than $2.6 billion in federal research funding for Harvard, threatened the school's tax-exempt status and sought to prevent it from enrolling foreign students. In the letter to Harvard, officials including assistant attorney general for civil rights Harmeet Dhillon didn't specify the additional financial penalties the administration is considering. But the govt has other levers it can pull, including Pell Grants for low-income students and access to the federal student-loan programme, which at Harvard is used mostly by graduate students. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Harvard said it strongly disagreed with the govt's findings. The school said it "has made significant strides to combat bigotry, hate and bias" and remains committed to ensuring that Jewish and Israeli students can thrive on campus. "Antisemitism is a serious problem and no matter the context, it is unacceptable," the university said. "Harvard has taken substantive, proactive steps to address the root causes of antisemitism in its community. " Trump set to terminate Syria sanctions programme President Donald Trump will sign an executive order later Monday terminating the US sanctions programme, against Syria, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said, a bid to boost the nation's economy and support the new govt after rebels overthrew President Bashar Al-Assad last year.
