Tell Congress to save the Inflation Reduction Act and keep America competitive!

China is building a world-class grid to integrate their ever-expanding flood of cheap, clean solar power.

In the first two months of 2025, China has reportedly increased spending on its grid by 33% year-on-year to help transport the massive influx of cheap solar power from the ongoing clean energy boom.

China’s solar capacity grew 43% year-on-year over that same January-February 2025 period, with the 39.47 GW of new solar installed accounting for three-quarters of all new power capacity built across China.

The major Chinese state-owned utilities target spending 820 billion yuan on grid improvements in 2025 to integrate this clean electron bonanza, and construction new high-voltage power lines are underway.

China also nearly quadrupled its battery storage capacity last year, and lots more grid-scale energy storage is in the works.

China’s current leadership in the key energy technologies defining the 21st century is already a reality, but sustained Chinese dominance is not inevitable. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act worked hard to supercharge U.S. investment in the fast-growing clean energy industries of the future and have already led to substantial early successes like a quintupling of domestic solar manufacturing.

And yet, almost unbelievably, the major policy question in American energy right now is whether Congress will hamstring the nation’s industry by repealing the Inflation Reduction Act’s clean energy tax credits. Simultaneously, a multitude of existing cleantech loans are being illegally held up by the executive branch and Congress is refusing to claim its constitutional prerogatives over trade policy to cancel the recent wave of ridiculously self-harming tariffs creating chaos and uncertainty throughout the economy.

For the first time in its long history, the United States of America is deliberately sabotaging its leading industries, raising the dark specter of eventually becoming an isolated technological backwater. It is absolutely vital for Congress to reclaim its constitutional power of the purse and ensure that America makes the investments necessary to ensure its national security in a world where clean energy is a leading economic engine. Congress must act to retain the Inflation Reduction Act tax credits, bring us back to sanity on trade policy, and ensure that all IRA cleantech loans go through.
