Rank and file pressure House Democratic leadership on renewables amid infrastructure push

House Democrats are marketing their $1.5 trillion infrastructure package as a massive investment in climate change and clean energy, but leadership is still silent on the emergency tax credit relief that renewable energy developers have been seeking for months.

“This is the largest tax investment in combating climate change that Congress has ever made on the renewable front,” said Rep. Richard Neal, a Massachusetts Democrat who leads the House Ways and Means Committee, in remarks on Thursday.
