## Introduction: an ideological battle at the heart of the Big Beautiful Bill

### Trump versus green credits: the word "scam" dropped in public

In public statements relayed by **Ground News** on **June 22, 2026**, President **Donald Trump** called the green tax credits inherited from Biden's Inflation Reduction Act (**IRA**) a "**scam**." This word, chosen deliberately, sums up the executive branch's position: credits designed to support wind, solar, batteries, and electric vehicles are not serious energy policy — they are disguised subsidies for a left-wing ideology.

But here is the problem: the very credits that **Trump** calls a scam have generated more than **$300 billion in investment** in clean energy across the United States since their adoption in **2022**. And a good portion of those investments land precisely in **Republican** states — Iowa for wind, Texas for solar, Kansas for both. What **Trump** calls a scam, his own voters call jobs.

### The Senate parliamentarian: an unexpected constitutional lock

The battle against green credits runs into a procedural obstacle that even the **Trump** administration may not have fully anticipated. The **Senate parliamentarian** — the arbiter of parliamentary rules — has ruled that eliminating the green credits requires **60 votes**, not 51. Why? Because this provision modifies permanent tax elements that exceed the scope of the budget reconciliation procedure, which is used to pass bills with a simple majority.

Republicans control only **53 seats** in the Senate. They would need to convince **7 Democratic senators** to vote to eliminate green credits — a probability approaching zero. This procedural constraint transforms an ideological debate into a legislative impasse. **Trump can call green credits a scam as often as he likes — eliminating them is another matter entirely.**

*The Senate parliamentarian is one of the most obscure and most powerful institutions in the American system. An unelected official whose decisions on procedural rules can block a president's agenda. It is a minority protection mechanism the Founders did not explicitly design but that works, sometimes, exactly as it should.*

## Biden's IRA: the legacy Trump cannot erase

### $300 billion in investments: a figure that outlasts the rhetoric

The **Inflation Reduction Act** of **2022**, signed by Biden, has produced a massive and durable investment effect. More than **$300 billion** in clean energy investments are underway across the United States thanks to these tax credits. Solar panel factories, wind farms, battery gigafactories, hydrogen facilities — all built by companies that planned their investments on the basis of tax credits guaranteed by federal law.

**These companies have signed contracts**, hired engineers, and ordered equipment. Retroactively eliminating the tax credits on which they based their business plans would be a breach of the government's word — with considerable legal and economic consequences. Thousands of jobs in Republican states would be directly at risk.

### The political paradox: the beneficiaries are Republicans

The central paradox in the debate over green credits is that the main beneficiaries are states and counties that vote overwhelmingly **Republican**. **Iowa** is the second-largest wind energy producer in the United States. **Kansas** and **Texas** have wind and solar projects representing tens of thousands of jobs. **These jobs were created** thanks to the very tax credits **Trump** calls a scam.

Republican senators like **Susan Collins** of Maine or representatives from the Great Plains flatly refuse to vote against programs that benefit their own states. This resistance is not ideological — it is pure electoral calculation. **No Republican senator from Iowa can afford to go explain to constituents why they voted to shut down wind farms.**

*This is one of my favorite political sequences: ideology collapses when it collides with concrete interests. Trump can call green credits a scam from the White House, but Republican senators representing states where those credits create jobs have a different reality to manage. That is the beautiful mechanics of local politics versus grand national rhetoric.*

## The Senate version versus the House version

### A phased elimination rather than a brutal removal

The tension between the two chambers of Congress over green credits reveals the depth of divisions within the Republican Party. The **House of Representatives** version, more directly subject to Trumpist pressure, called for a rapid and sweeping elimination of green credits. The **Senate** version, taking a more moderate stance, allows for a **longer phased elimination**.

**This temporal difference** is significant for companies that invested on the basis of the credits. A phased elimination gives them time to adapt their business models, find alternative funding, and plan their exit from current positions. A sudden elimination would put them in immediate difficulty and could trigger a wave of bankruptcies in the renewable energy sector.

### The bicameral conference: the real battlefield

The final battlefield will be the **bicameral conference** — the stage at which House and Senate representatives must agree on a common text. **On green credits**, the divergence between the two versions is such that a compromise will be difficult to reach.

If the House insists on its rapid-elimination position and the Senate holds to phased elimination, negotiators will need to find a timeframe acceptable to both sides. **And in that debate**, Republican senators from wind and solar states will carry considerable political weight. **They are the ones who will determine how far the administration can go without losing essential votes.**

*The bicameral conference is often where political battles are truly decided — far from cameras, in quiet Capitol offices. It is frustrating for democratic transparency, but it is the reality of the American legislative process. And on green credits, it will be particularly opaque.*

## Wind and solar in Republican states: an inescapable geography

### Iowa, Kansas, Texas: the Republican Party's wind strongholds

**Iowa** now generates more than **60%** of its electricity from wind — a proportion that makes it one of the global leaders in the energy transition, and this in a deeply conservative state. **Kansas** and **Nebraska**, across the Great Plains, have developed considerable wind capacity. **Texas**, the quintessential oil state, is also the nation's top wind energy producer.

These figures tell a story Trumpist rhetoric prefers to ignore: renewable energy is not a left-wing issue in the Great Plains — it is an economic reality that creates well-paying jobs in rural areas that desperately need them. Eliminating the green credits that support these industries means directly threatening the economic foundation of entire regions.

### Green jobs: a Republican workforce

Workers in the renewable energy sector in these states do not match the stereotype of the urban environmental activist. **They are wind turbine maintenance technicians**, solar energy engineers, specialized electricians — often white men without college degrees, from working-class families, who live in rural counties and vote majority Republican.

These workers benefit directly from the tax credits that **Trump** calls a scam. Eliminating those credits could mean eliminating their jobs. This paradox places Republican senators from affected states in an untenable position: support their president or protect their voters. **In an electoral system built on local representation, that choice is existential for political careers.**

*What strikes me in this debate is Trump's ability to formulate ideological positions that directly contradict the economic interests of his own base. And yet, a portion of that base continues to support him regardless. It is the triumph of identity over economics — a fascinating and bewildering political phenomenon.*

## The 60-vote rule: an institutional protection that holds

### The filibuster and supermajorities

The **Senate parliamentarian's** decision requiring **60 votes** to eliminate green credits fits within the logic of the **filibuster** — the rule that allows a Senate minority to block a vote by extending debate indefinitely. **To end a filibuster and** force a vote, **60 votes** are required.

**This rule** is regularly contested by majorities that would prefer to govern more easily. It has been partially eroded over the years — judicial and executive nominations have been exempt since **2013** and **2017** respectively. But for ordinary legislation, the 60-vote threshold holds. **It is a fundamental protection of the minority in the upper chamber of Congress.**

### Budget reconciliation as an attempted workaround

The **Trump** administration had attempted to use the **budget reconciliation** procedure to push through the elimination of green credits without needing 60 votes. This procedure, which applies to direct budgetary measures, requires only a simple Senate majority.

**But the parliamentarian** ruled that eliminating green credits exceeds the scope of reconciliation, because it modifies permanent tax provisions. This procedural lock is an important victory for moderate Republican senators and for renewable energy industries. Without it, eliminating the credits would be far easier. **Obscure procedural rules can sometimes have enormous economic consequences.**

*The Senate parliamentarian is neither elected nor appointed by the president. Their decision has more concrete impact on America's green industries than Trump's rhetoric from the White House. It is institutional bureaucracy protecting the economy — an irony that DOGE does not appear to have grasped.*

## Susan Collins and moderate senators: the line drawn

### Collins: a Republican voice critical of green credit elimination

Senator **Susan Collins** of Maine, an emblematic figure of the moderate wing of the Republican Party, was among the first to publicly express her opposition to eliminating green credits in her state. Maine has invested heavily in offshore wind and solar installations — these investments depend directly on the continuity of the tax credits.

Collins's position is not isolated. Other Republican senators representing states that benefit from green credits — Lisa Murkowski of Alaska (solar for isolated rural communities), Thom Tillis of North Carolina (manufacturing tied to renewables) — have expressed similar reservations.

### The Saturday vote and internal resistance

**Ground News** reported on **June 25, 2026** that the Republican Senate leader had scheduled a vote for the following Saturday on the **Big Beautiful Bill** despite significant internal Republican resistance. This context reveals that the Trumpist coalition in the Senate is not as monolithic as it appears.

**Several Republican senators** had specific objections to various provisions of the bill — including green credits, but also other measures affecting their respective states. These internal resistances create a margin for negotiation for moderates, who can trade their vote for concessions on the most problematic provisions for their states.

*I am always skeptical about the idea that institutions will hold firm. But Susan Collins and her moderate colleagues have a long tradition of opposing their own party when their local interests are at stake. It is not heroism — it is practical politics. But sometimes, practical politics produces the right outcomes.*

## The impact on long-term investment: market confidence

### Companies and regulatory predictability

For investors in renewable energy, the saga of green credits sends an extremely negative signal about American regulatory predictability. Investment decisions in energy involve commitments spanning **20 to 30 years** — the operational life of a wind farm or a solar plant. These decisions require certainty about the future tax framework.

If the administration can call into question tax credits enshrined in law since **2022**, what signal does that send to an investor weighing an offshore wind farm for **2040**? **The answer** is straightforward: it makes the United States less attractive as a destination for long-term green investments, to the benefit of **Europe**, **Canada**, or even certain Asian markets.

### BlackRock, infrastructure funds, and the political signal

Major infrastructure funds — **BlackRock**, **Brookfield**, European and Asian sovereign wealth funds — are watching the Trump administration's maneuvering on green credits closely. These players manage hundreds of billions of dollars in global renewable energy investments.

**If fiscal certainty** in the United States deteriorates, these funds have alternatives: **Europe** has massively invested in a stable regulatory framework for renewables under the Green Deal. The **UK** is building a major offshore infrastructure. Competition for green capital is global — and the United States risks losing the race for want of regulatory stability.

*Capital has no homeland. Fund managers who have placed billions in American renewables are not sentimental. If the regulatory environment becomes too uncertain, they will go elsewhere. And "elsewhere" could very well be Europe or Asia. America is shooting itself in the foot in terms of attractiveness for green investment.*

## The global energy transition: what the rest of the world is doing

### Europe: full throttle on the Green Deal

While the United States debates eliminating its green credits, the **European Union** is accelerating its energy transition under the **Green Deal**. Hundreds of billions of euros are being mobilized for renewable energy, energy efficiency, and industrial decarbonization. The **2030** and **2050** targets are being maintained.

This divergence of trajectory between the United States and Europe carries geopolitical consequences. Europe is building expertise and industry in green technologies that could become a major source of economic power in the twenty-first century. If the United States withdraws from this market out of ideology, it cedes the ground to its competitors.

### China: the world leader in green technologies

**China** is today the world's top producer of solar panels, batteries, and wind turbines. **It exports these technologies worldwide**, including to the United States. **If American green credits** disappear and renewable energy projects slow down, the beneficiaries will not be American coal or gas producers — they will be Chinese manufacturers selling at lower prices on global markets.

The strategic irony is striking: by eliminating the green credits that support a nascent American industry, the Trump administration would weaken American competitiveness against **China** in one of the most dynamic industrial sectors of the twenty-first century. **That is not America First — it is China First, by inadvertence.**

*China is the major strategic threat that the West should collectively confront. And here is the Trump administration, by wanting to dismantle green credits, handing Beijing an additional competitive advantage in the industries of the future. If that is not strategic blindness, I do not know what is.*

## The Inflation Reduction Act: a law built to last

### Green credits and the IRA's legal architecture

The **IRA** was not designed merely as a fiscal tool. It was deliberately structured to create irreversible investments — factories built, jobs created, contracts signed — that would make any reversal politically and economically costly. This legislative strategy has largely proven effective.

**The parliamentarian's ruling on the 60 votes is**, in a sense, the direct consequence of this architecture. The designers of the **IRA** had anticipated that future majorities might try to roll back these credits — and they structured the bill to make that reversal as procedurally difficult as possible.

### Industrial beneficiaries: a powerful defensive coalition

**The companies that** invested on the basis of IRA credits now form a powerful defensive coalition. Giants like **Ford**, **GM**, **NextEra Energy**, and hundreds of startups have billions at stake. Their lobbies are active, their economic arguments are solid, and their access to Republican elected officials is direct — because their factories are in Republican states.

**This industrial coalition** is one of the main reasons why the elimination of green credits faces so much resistance even within the Republican camp. **When Ford threatens to close a battery factory in a Republican state if the credits disappear, local elected officials listen — even those who display an anti-green rhetoric.**

*Capitalism has its ironies: major American industrialists, some of whom had long funded climate-skeptic lobbies, are today defending green credits because they have invested billions in them. Money has no ideology — it follows profits. And right now, the profits are in renewables.*

## Fossil fuels: the real beneficiaries of anti-green rhetoric

### Oil, gas, and coal: the political context of the war on green credits

It would be naive not to see behind the Trump administration's anti-green-credits rhetoric the influence of fossil fuel lobbies — oil, natural gas, coal — which are among the largest financers of Republican campaigns. **These industries** have every incentive to slow the transition to renewables that threatens their long-term business model.

The **Trump** presidency is, in many respects, the fossil fuel sector's revenge on the Biden years. **The "drill**, baby, drill" rhetoric and the war on green credits are two sides of the same coin: favoring hydrocarbons at the expense of alternatives. It is a political choice that benefits specific industries, not the American economy as a whole.

### American natural gas and Europe: a geopolitical link worth preserving

There is, however, a pro-fossil argument that deserves to be taken seriously in the current geopolitical context. American **liquefied natural gas** exported to **Europe** contributes to reducing European energy dependence on **Putin's Russia**. Every American LNG terminal that opens, every tanker loaded for Rotterdam or Barcelona, represents additional pressure on Moscow's revenues.

**In this context**, supporting American gas production has a positive geopolitical dimension. But this logic does not justify eliminating green credits — the two policies can coexist. **Developing LNG to weaken Putin and maintaining green credits to develop America's future industry are not contradictory objectives.**

*I fully support anything that weakens Putin's revenues and reduces Europe's dependence on Russia. American LNG plays a useful role in that equation. But do not claim that eliminating green credits is in the interest of national security — it is in the interest of fossil fuel lobbies, which is a different thing entirely.*

## The American Prospect and housing: those forgotten by the Big Beautiful Bill

### The SAVE Act housing provisions and access to housing

The **American Prospect** published on **June 25, 2026** an analysis of the **SAVE Act** and the **Big Beautiful Bill** housing provisions. These provisions, which affect access to housing for low-income Americans, follow the same logic of compressing social safety nets as the SNAP cuts.

**Paradoxically**, the administration's housing policies run counter to the interests of its traditional Republican base, which aspires to homeownership — but whose children can no longer afford to enter an inaccessible housing market. The simultaneous compression of green credits, SNAP, and housing assistance creates a general economic pressure on working- and middle-class Americans that cuts across partisan lines.

### An angry America: a shifting political energy

What the totality of **Big Beautiful Bill** policies reveals — from green credits to SNAP to housing — is an America whose inequalities are widening at an alarming rate. **The wealthy benefit from tax cuts**, working-class Americans absorb cuts to social programs, and the middle class finds itself squeezed between the two.

This dynamic creates a political energy that will not last indefinitely without finding electoral expression. **American history is punctuated by moments when accumulated economic frustration triggered major political ruptures.** The Big Beautiful Bill may well be preparing the next one.

*I do not make electoral predictions — I leave that to pollsters. But when I look at the full picture of what the Big Beautiful Bill does simultaneously — SNAP cuts, green credits threatened, housing compressed — I sense an accumulation of frustrations seeking political expression. America has a long tradition of populist reversals.*

## The geopolitical dimension: green credits and national security

### Energy independence as national security

One of the deepest ironies of the green credits debate is that their defenders can legitimately frame them in terms of American national security. Locally produced renewable energy reduces dependence on hydrocarbon imports and the geopolitical volatility of producing regions — among them the Middle East, which has just demonstrated its volatility dramatically with the USA-Iran war.

A wind farm in Iowa or a solar plant in Nevada cannot be blocked by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. It does not depend on **Putin**'s goodwill or **OPEC+** decisions. Energy independence through renewables is, in this sense, a form of national security that serious strategic analysts should defend regardless of their political affiliation.

### North Korea, Russia, Iran, and energy dependence

Authoritarian regimes — **Russia**, **Iran**, **North Korea**, **China** — all share a common feature: they exploit Western energy vulnerabilities. **Putin's Russia** used natural gas for years as a political pressure lever against **Europe**. **Iran** controls the Strait of Hormuz. These levers disappear as democracies develop their own renewable energy capacity.

**Weakening American green credits** therefore indirectly prolongs the influence levers of these authoritarian regimes over the West. **This is a strategic argument that the Trump administration, in its ideological anti-green blindness, consistently chooses to ignore.**

*Energy security is national security. I do not understand how an administration that claims to put America First can simultaneously weaken the industries that would make America energy-sovereign. Something does not hold in this logic — and I believe the fossil fuel lobbies have a great deal to do with this incoherence.*

## Scenarios for green credits: between phased elimination and constrained preservation

### Scenario 1: phased elimination accepted

If the Senate version — phased elimination over several years — prevails in the bicameral conference, green industries will have time to adapt. Some planned investments will be accelerated to capture the credits before they expire. Others will be reconfigured to fit a new tax framework.

This scenario is probably the most realistic given current political constraints. It will be painfully uncertain for green industries, but not catastrophic. **A phased elimination over 5 to 7 years is not the same as a brutal elimination over 2 years — markets can adapt.**

### Scenario 2: constrained preservation via the parliamentary lock

The **60-vote** lock could ultimately preserve most green credits. If Republican senators from beneficiary states hold firm in their resistance and the administration cannot lift this lock, the credits could survive the current legislature largely intact.

**This scenario is less likely in the short term**, but the ongoing political dynamics — Republican resistance, industrial pressure, the parliamentarian's ruling — create the conditions for partial preservation. **The institutional resilience of the American system is one of its most precious assets — even when it frustrates majorities.**

*I find myself once again placing my hopes in institutional safeguards rather than in the wisdom of leaders. That is not a comfortable position. But it is a realistic one. American institutions have a remarkable capacity to resist power grabs — as long as those who serve them maintain their integrity.*

## Conservative states facing their own contradictions on green energy

### Texas, Iowa, Kansas: Republican states with everything to lose

The geography of renewable energy in the United States is deeply ironic: the states that benefit most from the green credits that **Trump** calls a "scam" are precisely the states that vote most heavily Republican. **Texas** is the nation's top wind energy producer. **Iowa** generates more than **60%** of its electricity from wind. **Kansas** and **Nebraska** have renewable energy capacity representing thousands of local jobs.

These states have received **billions of dollars in investments** in wind and solar farms thanks to the tax credits the **Big Beautiful Bill** seeks to eliminate. Their Republican governors — normally aligned with Trump — are in a delicate position: either defend their states' economic interests, or support their party's anti-green ideological line. **This contradiction between ideology and local economic interests is one of the most revealing of the current state of the Republican Party.**

### Green jobs as an irrefutable electoral reality

Workers in the wind and solar sectors in these states do not match the stereotypes of urban environmental activists. They are **maintenance technicians**, **construction engineers**, **specialized electricians** — often men without college degrees, from working-class backgrounds, who live in **low-density rural counties**. These workers vote Republican and benefit directly from the green credits their party wants to eliminate.

This electoral irony has not gone unnoticed by political analysts. The question is whether these workers will factor it into their voting behavior — and whether their elected officials will seize on it. Republican senators from affected states are already weighing the electoral consequences of supporting the elimination of the credits. **In the coming months, this political pressure could prove more effective than all the economic arguments in protecting the green credits.**

*The image that stays with me is this: a wind turbine maintenance technician in Iowa, lifelong Republican voter, whose job is potentially threatened by his own party's energy policy. That is the fundamental contradiction of Trumpist anti-green ideology applied to ground-level economic realities. Politics is often what happens when ideology meets reality — and sparks fly.**The debate over green credits is far from over. The procedural lock of 60 votes, the resistance of Republican senators from beneficiary states, the industrial pressure from companies that have invested billions — all these factors keep the credits under pressure but not condemned. The final question will be one of political will on the part of those who hold the power to make a difference.*

## Conclusion: the Republican fracture as an unexpected safeguard

### The Republican Party is not monolithic on energy

The great lesson of this debate over green credits is that the **Republican Party** is not monolithic on energy issues. There is a real tension between the anti-green ideology of elected officials close to the fossil fuel lobby and the economic interests of Republican states that benefit from investments in renewables.

**This internal fracture is**, paradoxically, a protection for American green industries. As long as Republican senators from Iowa, Kansas, Texas, or Maine refuse to vote against their own local economies, the total elimination of green credits will remain politically impossible. **American domestic politics has its own corrective mechanisms — even in moments of dominance by an ideological current.**

### The $300 billion as an economic bulwark

**Ultimately**, the **$300 billion** in clean energy investments currently underway is the best protection for the green credits. These investments create an irreversible economic reality: factories built, existing jobs, signed contracts. Undoing all of that would be politically and economically too costly, even for the Trump administration.

The lesson for advocates of the energy transition is clear: **investment creates policy**. The more renewables become embedded in the real economy of Republican states, the less politically viable it becomes to dismantle them. It is a race between the speed of investment and the speed of regulatory counter-revolution — and for now, investment is winning.

## Columnist's transparency note

### Editorial stance

I am not a journalist but a **columnist and analyst**. My expertise lies in observing and analysing the geopolitical, economic and strategic dynamics that shape our world. My work is to take political strategies apart, to understand global economic movements, to put the decisions of international actors in context and to offer analytical perspectives on the changes that are redefining our societies.

I do not claim the cold objectivity of traditional journalism, which stops at reporting facts. **I claim analytical clarity**, rigorous interpretation and a deep understanding of the complex issues that concern us all. My role is to give meaning to the facts, to place them in their historical and strategic context, and to offer a critical reading of events.

### Method and sources

This text keeps the basic distinction between **verified facts and interpretive analysis**. The rule never changes: a factual claim is published only when a verifiable source supports it, and the sources this article actually used are listed under **Sources**, never here.

**Primary source families** used by the publication, when the story has them: official statements from governments and international institutions, public statements by political leaders, reports from intergovernmental organisations, dispatches from recognised international news agencies.

**Secondary source families**: specialised publications, internationally recognised news media, analyses from established research institutions, reports from industry organisations.

When an article cites statistical, economic or geopolitical data, it comes from the institutions that produce it (intergovernmental organisations, central banks, national statistics offices), and the exact institution is named under **Sources**.

### Nature of the analysis

The analyses, interpretations and perspectives in the analytical sections of this article are a **critical, contextual synthesis** based on the information available, the trends observed and the expert comments cited in the sources consulted.

My role is to interpret these facts, to set them in the context of today's geopolitical and economic dynamics, and to give them a coherent meaning within the larger story of the changes shaping our time. These analyses reflect expertise built through continuous observation of international affairs and an understanding of the strategic mechanisms that drive global actors.

This article describes a documented state of affairs on its publication date, not a prediction: later developments may shift its outlook. No update is promised in advance; when an article is corrected or completed, the change is dated in the text.
