Join us for an insightful webinar exploring how the political landscape shapes the incentives available to individuals and organizations under the current administration. This session will delve into which incentives are sunsetting, which will continue into 2026 and beyond, and how much funding remains available - currently estimated at $70 billion and allocated across various programs. We'll examine the historical stability of incentive funding since the 1970s and discuss how the focus of these funds has shifted over time to reflect evolving political values, from energy-related tax credits during the oil crises to today's emphasis on electrification of vehicles and homes. Understanding these shifts is crucial for making informed decisions about incentive-driven projects and investments.
