Senate Majority Leader John Thune says the future of biofuel tax credits, including those for sustainable aviation fuel and biodiesel, will come down to two key factors: getting enough votes and finding the right energy strategy.
“As we work through reconciliation, there’ll be some give and take, and obviously, conversations around some of the energy policies and provisions that are in place today. I think most of us up here agree that an ‘all of the above’ energy strategy when it comes to American energy’s the right one, but, at the end of the day, it’s about making America energy, not only energy independent, but energy dominant.”
Four Senate Republicans recently urged Thune to take a careful approach when reviewing tax incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act. Many in the party want to scale back clean energy credits to help pay for extending the 2017 tax cuts, which were passed under President trump’s first term.
