How the U.S. Just Handed the Renewable Future to China. Go to https://surfshark.com/undecided or use code UNDECIDED at checkout to get 4 extra months of Surfshark VPN! This summer the United States made a $559 billion decision. The consequences of that decision could make your next car $7,500 more expensive and send your electricity bills soaring unpredictably. On July 4th, 2025, President Trump signed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" into law. But this bill that was evidently supposed to make States more self-sufficient really just gave our energy independence away. Solar alone employs nearly seven times more U.S. workers than coal. Yet the current administration is cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from the sector creating jobs. Today, I’ll explain what this big bill actually does, the staggering numbers behind its context, and how it impacts your daily life. Because regardless of your politics, we all pay electricity bills, we all need jobs, and we all want to avoid being left at the mercy of another country’s supply chain.
