“Amendment SA 2745 not agreed to in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 21 - 79. Record Vote Number: 360.”
This amendment proposed to end federal tax credits for wind and solar energy projects. It was rejected by the Senate, so the financial incentives for these clean energy sources remained in place as defined by the main bill.
Tax credits are a primary way the government encourages the development of renewable energy; removing them would likely make wind and solar projects more expensive to build compared to fossil fuels.
Energy companies developing renewable projects and investors in green technology would have been most affected, along with consumers who might see a change in how their local power is generated.
