Brooklyn SolarWorks’ Statement on President Trump’s Reelection

Following President Donald Trump’s reelection, Brooklyn SolarWorks released the following statement:

“Brooklyn SolarWorks has shown resilience and determination through every election cycle, and we will continue to drive the conversion from fossil fuels to renewable energy in New York City under President Trump’s leadership. We believe President Trump’s commitment to increasing oil and gas production is counterproductive in the fight against climate change, and we feel skeptical that he will support our nation’s transition to clean energy.

“The Federal Solar Tax Credit, which incentivizes residential and commercial solar installations, was set to be phased out by 2023 due to the Trump administration’s inaction during his first term. Fortunately, the Biden Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) boosted and extended the credit, and provided Americans with a host of other clean energy incentives. Although we cannot say for certain at this time, it is possible that the incentives provided by the IRA could be at risk again during President Trump’s second term.

“These incentives, however, are still in place for now, offering us a unique opportunity to harness their potential. New Yorkers can and should take advantage of the law while they can.

“Regardless of what lies ahead at the federal level, we feel fortunate to have the support of our city and state, both of which are continuously making strides in clean energy deployment and leading the nation in climate policy.

“New Yorkers deserve more sustainable buildings, healthier air, and more green jobs. We stand by our commitment to make renewable energy accessible to all New Yorkers regardless of change in direction of national policy. We’ll continue to advocate for bold, transformative changes that may seem daunting today, but will pave the way for a brighter tomorrow.”
