Trump Bill Takes a 'Big, Beautiful' Bite Out of US Climate Progress

NEW YORK STATE, UNITED STATES, JUL 24 – The bill ends the federal solar tax credit that cut rooftop solar costs by 30%, risking 84,000 job losses in solar industry and raising electricity prices by up to 18% by 2035, experts say.

  • Earlier this month, President Trump signed the "One Big, Beautiful Bill," which contains a measure preventing federal Medicaid funds from being used by Planned Parenthood for a period of up to twelve months.
  • This provision stems from ongoing political efforts targeting Planned Parenthood and is currently challenged in federal court with a hearing set for July 21.
  • Planned Parenthood in Virginia serves roughly 25,000 people annually, with nearly 800 Medicaid users monthly, and faces a $1.35 million annual funding loss if the cuts take effect.
  • Jamie Lockhart emphasized that the issue centers on individuals being unable to obtain the essential health services they are entitled to, and warned that approximately 200 clinics nationwide could face closure if funding is discontinued.
  • The bill also removes federal support for renewable energy, with multiple analyses projecting substantial increases in household electric bills, especially in states like South Carolina.
