Unsurprisingly, projects, jobs, and whole companies have been falling as a result of Donald Trump’s war on renewable energy and electric vehicles. Because he loves pollution so much, and is eager to help funnel more money to his billionaire friends in the fossil fuel industry, Trump has been pulling cleantech incentives and doing everything he can to shut down clean energy projects, even ones already fully approved.

In the latest edition of a company biting the dust as a result of this, solar installer Purelight Power wrote a letter to Oregon officials just before Christmas explaining that it had to shut down operations nationally and close its business as a result of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) passed by Republicans in Congress and signed into law by Donald Trump.

Purelight Power was operating in nine states — Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Utah, and Washington — but pulling consumer tax credits for installing rooftop solar systems has dried up business and is forcing the company into bankruptcy. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 had promised solar consumer tax credits for a decade, but they lasted less than 3 years.
