(DCNF)—Congressional Republicans are making a last-ditch effort to gut the Biden-era Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) green energy subsidies via President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill.”
The House Ways and Means Committee unveiled a draft bill Monday afternoon to repeal several IRA subsidies including those for electric vehicles and so-called clean hydrogen while preserving tax credits for carbon sequestration, biofuels and advanced manufacturing, which primarily benefit solar and battery storage projects. Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee and Reps. Chip Roy of Texas and Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma’s Energy Freedom Act would take an even more aggressive approach by proposing a wholesale repeal of all the green energy subsidies within former President Joe Biden’s law, according to bill text exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The bill proponents argue that Trump pledged during the 2024 election cycle to completely dismantle the Biden’s “Green New Scam” and that GOP lawmakers must live up to that promise.
The budget reconciliation process that congressional Republicans are undertaking to pass vast swathes of Trump’s legislative agenda in a single package allows them to circumvent Democratic opposition with a simple majority vote in both chambers.
Pursuing a complete repeal of the IRA’s green energy subsidies in the budget reconciliation package could be the lone opportunity GOP lawmakers get during Trump’s second term to dismantle Biden’s climate policies. Congressional Democrats also used the budget reconciliation process to pass the IRA in August 2022 and avoid a Senate filibuster, despite the opposition of every GOP lawmaker.
“The Inflation Reduction Act, better known as the Green New Scam, is providing massive unlimited subsidies to billion dollar corporations and Chinese manufacturers to the detriment of American energy freedom and dominance,” Roy told the DCNF in a statement. “If Republicans want to unleash American energy dominance and support the President’s energy agenda, we have no choice but to fully — and immediately — repeal the Green New Scam.”
“America’s energy policy should be about keeping the lights on and costs low — not lining the pockets of special interests,” Lee, the chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee told the DCNF. “The Biden Administration’s green energy subsidies have rigged the market, driven up costs, and left our grid more vulnerable.”
The GOP lawmakers’ IRA repeal legislation would eliminate more than 20 tax credits, including subsidies favored by moderate Republicans, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. The bill would also repeal the Biden-era law’s petroleum tax and end the ability of project developers to buy and sell green energy tax credits through a practice known as transferability, according to background on the bill obtained by the DCNF.
Though the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office originally estimated that the green energy subsidies in the IRA would cost roughly $370 million over a ten-year period, the price tag of Biden’s sweeping law has ballooned over the past several years. The energy subsidies could cost taxpayers up to $2 trillion by 2034 and up to roughly $4.7 trillion by 2050, according to analysis from the libertarian-leaning CATO Institute.
The largest subsidies within the Biden-era law would only expire if greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to a level that is likely unattainable within the next several decades, which is partly attributable to the IRA’s skyrocketing cost, according to background obtained by the DCNF from Lee’s office.
“The IRA turned our tax code into a multi-trillion energy entitlement program, creating subsidies without caps, sunsets, or accountability,” Adam Michel, director of tax policy studies at the Cato Institute, said in a statement. “If Congress is serious about energy independence, reliable energy, or the national debt, repealing the IRA is the only responsible path forward.”
Roy previously told the DCNF that failure to include a full repeal of the IRA would jeopardize the passage of the budget reconciliation package in the House.
“If Republicans are going to refuse to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act, they are not going to get a Republican tax bill through the House,” Roy told the DCNF. “It’s costly, it’s inflationary, and we should repeal every dollar of it.”
The lawmakers are expected to introduce the bill early Tuesday ahead of the tax-writing panel’s markup scheduled to begin in the afternoon.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
