Oregon Scrambles to Save Green Projects as Trump’s Tax Credit Axe Falls

Oregon Scrambles to Save Green Projects as Trump’s Tax Credit Axe Falls

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek ordered state agencies to fast-track permits for wind and solar projects so they can start construction by July 4, 2026, ahead of expiring federal tax credits. The Trump-backed “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” accelerates the phaseout of these incentives, putting at least 9–11 major Oregon projects at risk. Oregon could lose about 4 gigawatts of planned renewables if deadlines are missed.

  • VisionWave Holdings (VWAV) Stock Seen as Undervalued Post Eurosatory Showcase and SDNN Patent Filing
    June 17, 2026, 1:14 AM EDT. VisionWave Holdings (VWAV) shares surged 15.4% in a day and 9.1% over a week after showcasing its VARAN autonomous ground platform with AI-driven vision systems at Eurosatory 2026, coupled with a new SDNN provisional patent filing. Despite this short-term momentum, the stock remains down 42.9% year-to-date and 52.4% over the past year, reflecting longer-term challenges. VWAV trades at a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 1.4x, substantially below the Aerospace & Defense industry average of 3.7x and peer average of 8.9x, indicating potential undervaluation. P/B compares market value to net assets and is preferred here due to absent revenue and net losses of $26.16 million. Risks remain from ongoing losses and share price volatility. Investors are advised to review comprehensive risk factors before considering exposure to VWAV or related defense and autonomy sectors.
