If Democrats win control of Congress in the fall, they will attempt to restore and expand tax credits for wind, solar, and other renewable energy, according to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. The party would also aim to strip the oil, gas and coal companies of more than $18 billion in new tax incentives in Trump's tax measure. Such measures are unlikely to become law unless Democrats win veto-proof majorities in both chambers of Congress. Schumer's plan is part of a strategy to lower costs for consumers, particularly energy prices. He also plans to prioritise a bipartisan effort to make building new infrastructure easier and increase the amount of energy available on the grid.
