House Republicans passed their megabill Thursday, taking a sledgehammer approach to the clean energy portions in Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act, going further than expected in the final text. POLITICO’s James Bikales and Kelsey Tamborrino break down the energy details of the bill, the reaction on and around the Hill, and what’s next in the reconciliation process. Plus, the Senate voted Thursday to nix California’s phase-out of gasoline-fueled cars and trucks, handing a major victory to President Donald Trump.
