Murkowski’s Trump Budget Vote: “Played”? More Like Performance Art
Senator Murkowski had co-sponsored an amendment to extend tax credits for solar and wind energy projects in Alaska’s Railbelt, aiming to mitigate an impending energy crisis. This amendment was intended to provide a 12-month window for clean energy projects. However, a subsequent executive order from Trump aimed to eliminate these tax credits, thus disrupting the agreement. Murkowski has since expressed feeling misled by the administration regarding the executive order.
