New report highlights economic growth, job creation, private investment, and energy security benefits from clean energy tax credits—aligning renewable energy policy with conservative economic values.
Hudson Sustainable Group, a leading sustainable investment firm, today announced the public release of a policy report advocating for the preservation of clean energy tax incentives provided under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The report, titled “The Conservative Case for Clean Energy Tax Incentives,” outlines how these provisions have catalyzed significant job growth, private sector investment, and strengthened U.S. energy security, all while aligning with core conservative principles of free-market growth and fiscal prudence. The analysis makes a compelling economic case that rolling back the IRA’s clean energy credits now would reverse hard-won gains and undermine America’s competitive edge, especially in many Republican-led communities, whereas retaining them will continue to boost the economy and U.S. energy independence.
“The data clearly show that the IRA’s clean energy tax incentives are not just about clean power—they are driving American economic growth,” said Neil Auerbach, Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Sustainable Group and a senior advisor for the American Conservation Coalition, a nonprofit organization dedicated to mobilizing young conservatives around common-sense limited government policies that promote environmental stewardship. “These incentives are creating hundreds of thousands of jobs across the heartland, unleashing hundreds of billions in private investment, and strengthening our energy independence. Preserving them isn’t partisan; it’s common-sense economic policy. We urge lawmakers to recognize that retaining these tax credits will continue to pay dividends for our economy, our national security, and communities nationwide.”
The release of this report comes at a pivotal moment as federal lawmakers debate budget priorities and the future of the IRA’s provisions. Hudson Sustainable Group’s findings aim to inform this debate by demonstrating that supporting clean energy can go hand-in-hand with conservative economic principles. By maintaining and optimizing the IRA clean energy incentives, the report concludes, Congress can foster continued growth in American industry and infrastructure while reinforcing free-market innovation and U.S. energy dominance. Rolling back these incentives now, by contrast, would risk undercutting U.S. manufacturing momentum and ceding ground to foreign competitors at a time when energy leadership is crucial.
