These Maps Show Where Trump's 'Big Beautiful' Bill Will Cancel Clean Energy
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Analysis of the "One Big Beautiful Bill" Act (OBBBA) nearing final votes in Congress shows that the legislation based on President Donald Trump's agenda threatens 4,500 clean energy projects, putting hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk and likely adding billions of dollars to annual energy costs for Americans within five years. "It's terrible," Robbie Orvis, senior director of modeling and analysis at the clean energy think tank Energy Innovation, told Newsweek. "It's potentially hundreds of billions in investment that will be vaporized and the long-term ramifications for U.S. manufacturing are potentially very negative." Energy Innovation used its peer-reviewed energy policy simulator to model the effects of the termination of clean energy tax credits and other elements of the legislation that emerged from the House. The final form of the bill is yet to be determined, and many clean energy industry leaders had hoped the bill might be improved in their favor in the Senate. But clean tech trade groups have been critical of Senate action so far, with the Solar Energy Industries Association calling the Senate version "a direct attack on American energy."

Analysis by Energy Innovation produced this map showing the states that stand to lose the most jobs due to the bill's cuts to clean energy tax credits. Courtesy of Energy Innovation The OBBBA's blow to clean energy comes on top of a slowdown in clean tech investment in the first months of the Trump presidency, with more than two dozen major projects canceled or cut back. Maps shown here produced by Energy Innovation and researchers at the Wellesley College Environmental Studies Department show how canceled projects, lost jobs and higher prices could affect each state. The Energy Innovation analysis showed that by 2030, the bill could result in the loss of 840,000 jobs associated with renewable energy deployment and the manufacturing of clean technology, batteries, EVs and the services and supply chains that support that work. Incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 have stimulated at least $321 billion in new private energy and manufacturing investments, analysts said. Solar, wind and batteries, especially, have seen phenomenal growth in the U.S., accounting for more than 90 percent of the new generating capacity to the nation's electric grid last year, according to the Energy Information Administration. Renewable energy and battery storage have become the cheapest and fastest way to add power to the grid as electric companies scramble to meet surging demand. By adding costs to those energy sources, the OBBBA will drive up electricity prices, Orvis said.

Analysis by Energy Innovation shows how much energy costs are likely to increase due to effects of the OBBBA. By raising costs of renewable energy and batteries, the analysts found, the legislation will increase the use of more costly fossil fuels. More Courtesy of Energy Innovation "The energy bill impacts are quite large," he said, so much so that he and his colleagues ran multiple cross-checks to make sure the numbers were right. The Trump administration wants to boost the use of fossil fuels to generate electricity. Rising demand for natural gas will drive up its price, the analysis found, pushing power bills higher. Not only do electricity bills shoot up in the analysis, but the bill's removal of incentives for EVs will add to long-term transportation fuel costs, Orvis said. The energy bill increases vary around the country but hit especially hard in some states like South Carolina, where the analysis showed annual energy bills growing by $770 million across the state. The Trump administration's work to dismantle federal climate policy and clean energy support has already had a dramatic impact on the lean tech sector, according to research by Wellesley College Professor of Environmental Studies Jay Turner. "It's a dark cloud of uncertainty which has led to the highest level of cancellations, delays and rollbacks that we've seen since 2010, which is how far back our tracking goes," Turner told Newsweek. "We've seen levels of cancellations and slowdowns that are more than five times greater than what we've seen in any other time period." Turner and his students maintain a comprehensive map of clean tech investments and developments in the U.S. called "The Big Green Machine." Since Trump took office, however, the green map has shown a lot of red, the color indicating cancellations, delays and postponements of announced projects. Big Green Tracker Clean Energy Cancellations Wellesley College researchers have documented 29 clean energy projects that have been canceled, postponed or cut back since President Donald Trump took office, putting more than 21,000 potential jobs at risk.

Courtesy of Wellesley College Environmental Studies Dept. Since Inauguration Day on January 20, 29 clean energy projects have been canceled, paused or scaled back, affecting $21.6 billion in private investment and putting 21,287 potential new jobs at risk. Four of those project delays came since the OBBBA passed the House on May 20. Turner said the "battery belt" states of the Southeast and Midwest that had seen growth in battery manufacturing have taken the biggest hits so far. "These are investments that were meant to give the U.S. a foothold in one of the fastest growing industries in the world," Turner said. "And that's the sector where we've seen the most slowdown in the last six months." Turner had identified four major battery projects that have been put on hold in the last five months in Georgia, Kentucky and South Carolina—all states that Trump won in the 2024 election. One of the ironies of the highly partisan tilt to recent federal energy politics is that Republican lawmakers are poised to end policy that has primarily benefitted their states and districts. Although the IRA was championed by a Democratic president and passed without a single Republican vote in Congress, most of the clean energy investments the law triggered have landed in red states, Turner's work showed. Turner spoke with Newsweek while he was on a multi-state research road trip to visit recent clean energy development sites and to hear from industry leaders. "People are saying, 'I don't know what's going to happen,' there's so much uncertainty about what happens next," Turner said. "It's just a very difficult environment to be making long-term decisions about major manufacturing investments and all of this at the same time that many other parts of the world are investing deeply in these advanced technologies." The Energy Innovation analysis showed that, on a per capita basis, many of those battery belt states will suffer some of the biggest losses under the OBBBA as well, as higher costs for EV and grid storage battery makers will make it harder for them to compete with other countries. "You can see there's a big drop-off and the battery belt states are the ones that receive the brunt of that," Orvis said. He said the upshot will be a reduced ability to bring clean tech manufacturing to the U.S., giving battery and EV makers elsewhere a big advantage. A recent report from the International Energy Agency found that the bulk of global energy investments now go to clean energy and electrification rather than into new fossil fuel development, with more than $2 trillion flowing into clean tech and power grids. Orvis said he feared that the U.S. policy turn away from clean energy would cede that global market to others. "China is sitting there, I'm sure, just watching this with delight," Orvis said. "It's handing it to them on a silver platter."

Gen Z Drives Sharp Decline in American Pride: Poll
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. While millions of Americans will celebrate the founding of the United States this week with fireworks or cookouts, those July 4 festivities will be set to a backdrop of declining national pride driven by Gen Z, according to a new poll. Why It Matters American national pride reached a record low in a new Gallup poll released on Monday. The survey found wide generational and partisan differences in American patriotism, which has declined across the board over the past few decades. It found particularly low levels of national pride among Gen Z, an increasingly important age group in elections. The youth vote shifted rightward in the 2024 race, with President Donald Trump gaining new ground among voters between the ages of 18 and 29, according to election data. What To Know Only 58 percent of Americans reported feeling very or extremely proud of their country, according to a Gallup poll conducted from June 2 to June 19. That's the lowest point since 2001, when the pollster began asking the question in its surveys. That drop is largely fueled by Gen Z voters, only 41 percent of whom said they are proud to be an American in an average of polls from 2021 to 2025. This compares to 58 percent of millennials, 71 percent of Gen X, 75 percent of baby boomers and 83 percent of the Silent Generation.

American flags decorate the National Mall in front of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., on June 1, voters have also seen their sense of national pride plummet after Trump's reelection last year; only 36 percent of Democrats said they are proud to be an American, down from 60 percent in 2024. Among Republicans, 92 percent said they are proud to be an American, compared to 85 percent in 2024, the poll found. Costas Panagopoulos, a professor of political science at Northeastern University, told Newsweek it's unsurprising that national pride has dropped among young voters. "Young voters tend to be idealistic in their outlook, and when they look at American politics these days, there's much to be frustrated with and to be disillusioned by," Panagopoulos said. "For young voters, that is especially acute because it's their foray into political life in America." Across the board, American pride has dropped in part because Americans are increasingly believing that politicians are unable to come together to solve people's everyday problems, Panagopoulos said. What People Are Saying Jeffrey M. Jones of Gallup wrote in the survey's report: "At the beginning of the 21st century, U.S. adults were nearly unanimous in saying they were extremely or very proud to be Americans. But that national unity has eroded over the past 25 years due to a combination of political and generational changes. Democrats today are much less likely than in the past to express pride in their country; in fact, their national pride has hit a new low. Additionally, Generation Z and millennials are much less proud of their country than their elders are." Northeastern University Professor Costas Panagopoulos told Newsweek: "It's quite worrying in part because America is what it is because of our ability historically to come together as a nation to solve national and even global problems. And if we cannot unite as a country to do that around our identity as Americans, it is problematic. What's happening right now in America is that Americans across the board appear to be replacing their sense of national identity with their allegiance to partisan identity, or what appears to be happening is that our partisan identities are surmounting our national identity as Americans." What Happens Next July 4 will likely see celebrations across the country, despite a decline in patriotism. Future political developments could determine whether patriotism makes a comeback.

Panel Will Vote on Rent Increases, a Key Issue for Mamdani and Adams
Mayor Eric Adams has supported rent increases for New York City's one million rent-stabilized apartments every year since he took office. Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, likely to be the Democratic nominee facing him in the general election in November, cruised into the lead in his party's mayoral primary last week on a promise to freeze the rent. Now, a nine-member panel appointed by the mayor to vote on potential increases is set to decide what happens to rents in rent-stabilized buildings over the next year as the city faces linked affordability and housing crises. The contrast between Mr. Mamdani and Mr. Adams is adding a new layer of tension to the panel's decision. The vote is scheduled for Monday night in Manhattan. The panel, called the Rent Guidelines Board, took preliminary votes this spring to back increases of between 1.75 and 4.75 percent on one-year leases, and between 3.75 and 7.75 percent for two-year leases. Any increases would apply to leases beginning in or after October. Mr. Adams has said that the higher range was too high. As in past years, the discourse around the vote reflects the rift between pro-renter and pro-landlord political interests in New York City. But it is also providing an opportunity for Mr. Mamdani and Mr. Adams to distinguish themselves from each other at a time when making the city a more affordable place to live is a key issue driving the election. The board is supposed to be independent. But the mayor appoints its nine members, and its decisions often reflect the political priorities of the sitting mayor. Mr. Mamdani, a democratic socialist, built a successful campaign around a promise to appoint members to the board who would halt future increases. That strategy helped him surge ahead of former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, the front-runner in the polls who had been backed by landlords and did not support a rent freeze. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
