Reinstating the Inflation Reduction Act incentives for wind and solar energy that boosted investment in energy production and storage and brought low-cost energy to consumers
Consumers: reinstate energy improvement tax credits, incentivize energy efficiency, assist low-income households with energy bills, crack down on price gouging, and ensure high-consumption facilities pay their own costs (see H.R. 7977 ), H2997 [20AP]
Evidence
The office’s current Energy & Climate Change page says Crockett is working to expand green energy achievements so costs are lowered, and cites her January 28, 2025 letter demanding the Trump administration reveal frozen Inflation Reduction Act projects.
Crockett is a cosponsor of H.R. 7728, introduced in the 119th Congress to interconnect the ERCOT grid to its neighbors; the bill was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Assessments
The promised outcome was to reduce utility costs by reinstating Inflation Reduction Act incentives for wind and solar energy. The evidence shows Crockett continued advocating for clean-energy funding and challenged Trump administration freezes of IRA projects, plus cosponsored a related grid-interconnection bill. However, none of the evidence shows that IRA wind and solar incentives were actually reinstated or that utility costs were reduced through that mechanism. Because she made a serious same-term effort toward the policy area but the promised outcome has not been delivered, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
