Clean Energy Victory Bond Act of 2023

The Clean Energy Victory Bond Act of 2023 would authorize the U.S. Treasury to issue bonds to the public, raising up to $50 billion annually, to fund clean energy projects nationwide. Proceeds would flow into a new trust fund supporting solar, wind, energy efficiency upgrades, electric vehicle infrastructure, and research, with at least 40% dedicated to disadvantaged communities facing higher environmental health risks or economic challenges. The bonds, backed by the U.S. government, would pay interest based on energy savings and loan returns, similar to savings bonds, and would be promoted through public campaigns. This mechanism aims to finance clean energy deployment without direct government spending, leveraging voluntary public investment.
