Plus,
the handcuffs come off for Wells Fargo nearly a decade after its fake account scandal.
And the potential phase-out of clean energy tax credits divides Senate Republicans as the chamber takes on the GOP's big,
beautiful bill.
There's right now, by our estimate,
$328 billion of clean energy projects under development.
