Texas stands to lose approximately $87 billion in economic activity due to halted clean energy projects. The repeal of clean energy tax credits could result in an average annual household energy cost increase of $777 by 2035.

With a significant reliance on wind energy, Oklahoma could see annual household energy bills rise by up to $845 by 2035 if clean energy incentives are removed.

South Carolina

The elimination of renewable energy tax credits may lead to an 18% increase in energy costs by 2035, as the state would need to depend more on natural gas and other fossil fuels.

North Carolina
