Despite scaling back clean energy tax credits, the US Congress has maintained approximately $70 billion in federal tax subsidies for fossil fuels over 2025-2029, split evenly between foreign and domestic extraction activities.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face continued competition from fossil fuel incumbents supported by sustained tax breaks despite clean energy cutbacks. This tax environment shifts market access and funding landscapes against renewables for the coming years.
