Sen. John Barrasso, a member of the Senate Finance Committee and the leader of the GOP conference, wrote a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Thursday

The president’s budget proposal would strip traditional U.S. energy industries of $31 billion worth of"special tax treatment for oil and gas company investments, as well as othertax preferences," according to the White House. That's less than the $45 billion in fossil fuel subsidies his previous budget proposal sought to end, but is still enough to alarm Republicans.

Biden's budget plan seeks to invest billions into renewable energy. Among the president’s proposals are $300 million for public housing to improve energy efficiency and withstand the effects of climate change. A White House fact sheet touts a $4.5 billion investment"in clean energy across America."
