A group of Republicans called for a “full repeal” of energy tax credits passed by Democrats in 2022 in a Thursday letter.
Their letter comes after a different group of 21 Republicans, mostly moderates, called for changes to be “targeted and pragmatic” in March, and four senators expressed opposition to a “full-scale” repeal last month.
The two letters underscore the challenges GOP leaders face amid divisions in their caucus as they try to come up with a major budget deal to advance their priorities.
In the latest letter, the 38 Republicans criticized the approach of their colleagues, saying it would be hypocritical to retain some credits for low-carbon energy sources while eliminating others.
