Trump administration plans to end Energy Star program for home appliances, Washington Post reports
(Reuters) -The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency plans to end Energy Star, a program whose iconic blue labels have certified the energy efficiency of home appliances for more than three decades, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday, citing people briefed on the matter.
During an all-hands meeting Monday of the EPA's Office of Atmospheric Protection, Trump administration officials said that the office would be dissolved and that Energy Star would be eliminated, according to the Washington Post report.

What the business world has to like (and not) in Senate version of Trump's 'big beautiful bill'
The business community has some clear wins in a Senate version of President Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" released Monday, but it isn't getting everything it wants. The Senate's Finance Committee released its 549-page blueprint this week that contains significant changes from what the House passed in May, especially on taxes, Medicare funding and clean energy. The changes are still being digested by the business community but one proposal is already being embraced: a Senate-side push to make corporate tax deductions permanent for things like interest payments and new capital investments. One idea that may not be quite so popular is the survival of an idea for a so-called "revenge tax" that would allow the government to levy new duties on foreign nations and their businesses. That idea was introduced in the House version and sparked fears of reduced foreign investment. The version released Monday pares back the tax but doesn't eliminate it entirely, as corporate lobbyists had asked. Specific industries also have plenty at stake from changes made by the Senate. Businesses that work in clean energy will have more time to adjust to the phase-out of Biden-era credits. Restaurants and gig economy companies have more limited tax breaks for tips and overtime in the Senate bill. Health care providers will also have to adjust to even steeper cuts to Medicaid's provider tax structure — perhaps the most surprising and significant overall change in the Senate version. What the Senate version of the bill doesn't appear to have — as Elon Musk and others had pushed for — is a significant change in the final price tag. Both versions are expected to add trillions to dollars to the debt. The Senate version also raises the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, compared with $4 trillion in the House version. The bill does have one clear cost saving measure with a slashing of the annual deduction for individual State and Local Taxes (SALT) from $40,000 to $10,000. But that provision is even described in the official summary of the bill as "the subject of continuing negotiations," with defenders of the deduction pledging to restore the full credit forthwith. The Senate version earned a quick flurry of Republican pledges — from fiscal hawks to defenders of those SALT deductions to those who object to the Medicaid cuts — to vote no if the final version isn't changed to their liking. "We're not seriously addressing our long-term deficit and debt," Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin told reporters soon after the unveiling as he reiterated that he remains a no. This latest release comes only about two weeks ahead of Republicans' self-imposed deadline to get the bill to the president's desk by July 4. The Senate is aiming to pass the bill by next weekend, Ed Mills of Raymond James pointed out in a note, "however, we continue to view the July 4 target as ambitious" — suggesting that SALT and Medicaid provisions in particular could be under intense debate in the days ahead. Here is a closer look at some of the major business world changes being proposed by the Senate: A key focus for business owners are a series of tax deductions that will reinstate credits for corporations around things like the depreciation of property, capital investments, new factory construction, interest expenses, and research and development costs. These provisions were present in the House version but only temporarily. Permanency was a key Senate priority once they took over even as it is expected to increase the price tag. The bill "powers the economy by permanently extending critical pro-growth provisions and introduces new incentives for domestic investment, providing certainty for American job creators to spur domestic economic activity and invest in their workers," offered Senate Finance Committee Chairman Mike Crapo as he unveiled these provisions. The Senate version also enhances credits for Opportunity Zones, which provide tax relief in rural and distressed communities. The bill also includes Trump's campaign promises of no taxes on tips and overtime but in a more limited form. Employee will have annual deductions of up to $25,000 for tips and overtime — in contrast to the House's approach of 100% deductibility under certain income limits. Also present in the Senate blueprint is a rollback of clean energy credits for things like solar panels and electric vehicles. The changes in the Senate would make that phaseout slower — zeroing out some key credits by 2028 — but with a bottom line that Republicans across the spectrum are united in eliminating these benefits entirely. Amy Hanauer, the executive director of the left-leaning Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, reacted to the released proposal by saying "the emerging clean energy economy will be curtailed and for what?" "Our communities will be worse off as a result of this legislation,' she added. On the fossil fuel side, the Senate bill continues to include changes to make permitting less laborious, open up new lease sales, and reverse a fee on excess methane emissions. The Senate bill also includes a controversial plan to limit the ability of states to regulate artificial intelligence. The Senate's provisions are less airtight (stopping short of the outright ban proposed by the House) but are expected to remain a point of contention and also potentially an issue for the Senate parliamentarian given the Senate's complex reconciliation rules. Other changes in the bill appear to have cut against the business interests at least slightly. The Senate bill makes permanent the so-called pass-through deduction — formally called a 199A deduction for small businesses — but at the current rate of 20%. The House version also had permanency but at a higher rate of 23%. Meanwhile a clear focus of business lobbyist ire has remained in the bill but in a slightly diminished form: this so-called "revenge tax." That is an idea that would allow a president to punish companies and countries if they adhere to foreign laws that policymakers find objectionable. In Trump's case things like the digital services taxes the often hit tech companies overseas. The Senate version, in a nod to the flurry of concerns, set a maximum rate of 15% and delayed implementation until 2027 but kept the concept intact. In addition to that tax, the SALT and Medicaid changes are likely to be most in focus in the days and weeks ahead. Tobin Marcus of Wolfe Research noted Tuesday morning that "SALT changes underscore the reality that this is another step forward in negotiations, not the final answer." He added "we still view late July as the real deadline." Ben Werschkul is a Washington correspondent for Yahoo Finance.

Musk's xAI in talks for $4.3 billion equity funding, Bloomberg News reports
(Reuters) -Elon Musk's AI startup xAI is in talks to raise $4.3 billion through an equity investment on top of its $5 billion debt funding plans, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing information shared with investors. Between its founding in 2023 and when the debt sale was launched this year, xAI raised $14 billion through equity fundraising, the report said. The Grok chatbot maker needs new funding, partly because it has already spent most of what it previously raised, according to the report. XAI did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.
