Clean-energy advocates expect an industry fallout in Florida from Trump's 'Big, Beautiful' law

In this mention

WUSF interviews Maggie Shober and Stan Cross of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy about the impact of Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" on Florida's clean-energy sector. The law eliminates tax incentives that covered nearly one-third of solar installation costs and EV purchase credits, threatening nine clean-energy factories and over 10,000 jobs in Florida. SACE advocates warn the rollback will increase utility costs, raise consumer electric bills, and undermine market momentum in solar and EV adoption.

This so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill" is going to be big and bad for the solar industry. It is changing the calculus for electric utilities that have already planned solar, which most in Florida have solar projects in the works that now will cost more.
