About this listen

The Clean Energy Edge tackles one of the most critical energy policy battles of 2025: the showdown between the Republican-led Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) in the House and the Senate's more tempered version. Discover:

🔍 Policy deep dive — What clean energy tax credits are being slashed in both versions? 📊 Job loss data — SEIA warns ~330,000 U.S. clean‑energy jobs are at risk, many in red states like Texas (~34K), Florida (~21K), Arizona (~9K), with up to 830K losses on the table. 🧠 Political fault lines — Inside the GOP: 13 House Republicans push back, the Freedom Caucus doubles down, red‑state Senate Republicans feel the heat. ⏳ Deadline drama — With July 4 and the August–September recess windows looming, gridlock just might preserve IRA clean energy incentives. 💥 What this means — Could congressional dysfunction actually protect clean energy? Or are job losses in red districts forcing a reckoning?

Tune in to hear Russ and Brian unpack why clean energy rollback is not just policy—it’s red-state economic sabotage, and how GOP infighting may inadvertently safeguard the future of solar, wind, EVs, and battery storage in America.
