The article highlights concerns regarding President Trump's budget bill, which targets clean energy tax credits essential for solar and wind energy industries. Nancy Rader from the California Wind Energy Association warns that this move could decimate the renewable sector, as it maintains subsidies for fossil fuels while undermining wind and solar supports. Wind energy plays a critical role in providing power during off-hours, complementing solar energy, and losing this support could increase costs for consumers as the growth of renewable projects slows down.
"It will be a huge blow against wind energy and all other renewable energy types, especially because it puts us off of a level playing field..."
"Wind generation generates energy during the evening, and night periods, and so we really need a mix of wind, solar and batteries to achieve our goals, at least cost."
