Thompson bill aims to reinstate clean energy investments

District 2 Yolo County Supervisor Lucas Frerichs says clean, renewable energy is something that Yolo County holds dear in its values, but providing it to county buildings and constituents has been made harder after the “Big Beautiful Bill.” “We previously were able to take advantage of solar tax credits,” said Frerichs. “$8.6 million here in Yolo County was utilized previously. That has done wonders for us in Yolo County helping to reach some of our climate goals. It has also provided numerous jobs in the clean tech and clean energy sectors as well. We’re going to really have a lot of challenges now that these types of tools have been taken away from us.”
