Congress passed a massive tax and spending cuts package Thursday that curbs billions of dollars in spending across clean energy. That means people will be paying a lot more for home solar, energy efficiency and other green technologies — and the nation's efforts to address climate change just got a lot more challenging.

Analysis shows that by 2030, the bill could result in the loss of 840,000 potential clean tech jobs and raise annual energy costs by billions of dollars.

Control of Congress in next year’s election could turn on how Americans view the sweeping tax- and domestic-policy package.
