Key Points

This bill would end several tax breaks that the government currently gives to companies making alternative fuels. These include credits for alcohol fuels, biodiesel, and special fuel used in airplanes.
The change would mostly affect farmers who grow crops for fuel and companies that produce green energy. These businesses would likely see their taxes go up because they would lose these financial incentives.
Supporters of the bill believe the government should not be picking winners in the energy market by giving out subsidies. They argue that all fuel types should compete fairly without help from taxpayers.
If this becomes law, it would start applying to fuels made or sold right after the bill is signed. It could lead to higher prices for some types of renewable fuels since the companies making them would no longer get a tax discount.
