WASHINGTON, DC — Following the passage of H.R. 1 by the U.S. Senate, Advanced Energy United President and CEO Heather O'Neill released the following statement:
"This bill will hit Americans hard, terminating credits that have helped families lower their energy and transportation costs, shrinking demand for American-made advanced energy technologies, and squeezing new domestic energy production at a time of rising demand and prices. While Senators have addressed some of the worst provisions from earlier versions – including the ill-conceived excise tax – a number of punitive measures remain. The advanced energy industry will endure, but the downstream effects of these rollbacks and punitive policies will be felt by American families and businesses for years to come.

The updated text is worse than the proposal put forward by the Senate Finance Committee almost two weeks ago.
