President Trump's so-called big, beautiful bill, which was passed last week, will have major implications for most Americans.

And today, we want to talk about how much this will cost you when it comes to climate and energy.

Well, there's the effect this will have on climate change as well as the rising costs of electricity. Some estimates suggest electricity bills in states like

Texas could be $777 more a year by 2035. The Senate version of the legislation repeals the clean energy tax credits from the IRA, the

Inflation Reduction Act, for all solar and wind projects that don't start construction

within a year after the bill's passage or that aren't completely operational by 2028.

But these projects can often take longer than that, and they're a fast-growing segment of our

country's energy grid.

Roughly 93 percent of the electricity capacity added to the grid this year will come from a

combination of wind, solar, and battery storage.

That's according to the Federal Energy Information Administration.

The White House also announced an executive order on Monday that would end subsidies for wind and solar projects. So what does

the future of clean energy in the U.S. look like under President Trump? And what does this mean

for our climate goals and our pocketbooks? We get into it after the break.
