Free Market Clean Energy or Fossil Fuel Handouts: Time to Choose, Senators. [1]

Hi Daily Kos community — we’re loanTERRA.
We’re a mission-driven company at the forefront of consumer renewable energy lending, leading the charge against the deceptive practices of the biggest financing companies and the shady sales tactics that have plagued solar for years.
Founded by a longtime Daily Kos community member with over a decade leading ethical credit union solar lending, we’re committed to making clean energy lending fair and transparent for everyone. We’ve got a full intro post coming soon that’ll break down who we are, what we’ve already built, and the full mission we’re building — but right now, the solar industry is in crisis. And we’re asking for your help — not for us, but for our reputable friends in the business.
The “Big Beautiful Blunder” — with the elimination of solar tax credits for homeowners (Section 25D) — threatens to gut the residential solar market. It’s not just about homeowners losing a 30% tax credit. It’s about:
Millions of jobs at stake in solar installation, manufacturing, and supply chain.
Higher energy costs for families who want to go solar but can’t close the gap without the credit.
Tilting the game to fossil fuels — as usual.
We’re already seeing the fallout: projects canceled, workers laid off, and communities left behind.
Daily Kos has always been a place where people take action — where policy meets the power of grassroots voices. So here’s our direct ask:
✅ Contact these key Senate offices today — they’re the swing votes that could keep solar tax credits alive.
Tell them:
> “If you won’t make the smart choice for America’s energy future, then kill subsidies for ALL energy. Let renewables send the dinosaurs back to extinction. Keep 25D”
Sen. Thom Tillis (NC): (202) 224-6342
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (AK): (202) 224-6665
Sen. Susan Collins (ME): (202) 224-2523
Sen. Mike Crapo (ID): (202) 224-6142
Sen. John Curtis (UT): (202) 224-5251
✅ Contact your own state senators too — especially if you’re in a red state. Let them know:
> “If you’re going to rig the game because you don’t REALLY believe in the free market — or you’re so beholden to the dinosaurs — we think real free market voters in your state should know it. Keep 25D”
✅ Amplify this message. Share it far and wide.
✅ Join us. loanTERRA is on the front lines of clean energy lending — and we’re fighting to keep solar accessible and affordable for everyone.
We’ll have our full intro post up soon, but today, let’s rally around this urgent fight.
Please forgive us as we shamelessly beg for recs and post repeatedly on this topic. There’s not much time to work with.
In solidarity,
The loanTERRA Team
