Help Us Undo “Big Beautiful” Energy Stupidity — Fight for Solar Jobs and Our Clean Energy Future [1]

Hi Daily Kos community — we’re loanTERRA.
Brief background: We’re a mission-driven company at the forefront of renewable energy consumer 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 20+ year Daily Kos community member with over a decade leading ethical green lending by credit unions, 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 and the movement 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 renewable energy business.
Among the many terrible things it does, the “Big Beautiful Blunder Budget” eliminates solar tax credits for homeowners (Section 25D) — and 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 level the playing field. Kill subsidies for ALL energy. Let renewables send the dinosaurs back to extinction. I thought you were all about free market solutions.”
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:
“There are only two options here. Either you 1) want to rig the game because you don’t REALLY BELIEVE in the free market, or 2) you’re bought and paid for by the dino lobby. We think REAL free market believers should know you’re either a fake or a shill — come primary time.”
✅ Amplify this message. Share it far and wide on Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.
✅ 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.
