Urgent Action Needed: Stop HR 1 in the House Today!
Yesterday, the Senate passed HR 1 in a 51-50 vote, with Senators Collins, Tillis, and Paul voting no and Vice President Vance casting the tie-breaking vote.
In the final wraparound amendment, we successfully:
- Struck the punitive new excise tax included in Friday night’s draft
- Secured protection for projects that begin construction within one year of enactment, shielding them from the 2027 placed-in-service restrictions
- Made targeted improvements to several other provisions
While these changes reflect our collective advocacy, make no mistake: HR 1 remains a deeply harmful bill—for Westchester, for New York, and for the nation.
The bill now heads to the House for a final vote, which could take place as early as TODAY (Wednesday, July 2)—or the House could move to a conference with the Senate next week. Either path is perilous.
Your voice is urgently needed.
Let Congress know: HR 1 will devastate the clean energy industry, drive up electricity costs, stall innovation, and kill jobs.
This bill threatens the backbone of America’s energy transformation and manufacturing revival. If enacted:
- Families will face higher energy bills
- New projects will be delayed or abandoned
- Clean energy manufacturing will stall
- Our grid will become more vulnerable
- U.S. leadership in the global energy economy will falter
Already, more than $15 billion in clean energy projects have been cancelled across the country. And that’s just the beginning.
