What an impressive government we have, that someone can drop a provision into a bill and it’s just a mystery.

Solar and wind suck. The way you can tell us that Martha's vineyard and Cape cod fight to the death to keep them out.

When Aspen, Martha's vineyard and the Hamptons get wind farms and when jets take off with batteries then I'll consider them worth looking into.

Wind farms are going in up and down the Atlantic and across the plains and in mountains areas including Western PA and western MD.

Total eyesores. Ruining the beauty of the country

Says MAGA who is totally fine with privatizing public lands.

They ignore the big ugly refineries spewing filth into the air. Let them breathe it in. They don’t know better and never will.

Just let MAGAs breathe the bad air for a few years and pay the price. It’s the only way they’ll wake up.

Somebody owes the fossil fuel companies for their campaign contributions.
“ Oil and gas barons who donated millions of dollars to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign are on the cusp of cashing in on the administration’s support for energy-guzzling data centers – and a slew of unprecedented environmental rollbacks.”

Dumb. You’re ignoring US job creation, environmental costs, and the unintended consequences from environmental catastrophe: ruin, illness, loss of taxes.

Last I checked.. oil companies with hard working dirty handed employees are solvent and the government milquetoast cost/benefit experts are 37 trillion in debt and probably produce more fecal matter to boot.
.

The oil companies are heavily subsidized. Either take away all subsidies for all energy, and let the free market pay the actual costs or subsidize what actually provide clean energy and tax that which pollutes. But to suggest that oil is not subsidized or that society (ie taxpayers) don't pay the costs for the environmental and health impacts is ignorant.

We subsidize oil.

Mic 🎤 drop.

We subsidize coal too. Bigly.

Do you know what is worse? A country with denuded forests, piled garbage and no clear air or water, which is the world the GOP wants.

The landscape was clean and beautiful before it was littered with wind and solar farm eyesores

To describe your trolling attempts as boring would be overly generous.

Yeah, that highway in CA that’s had wind farms for decades sure would look better with a concrete wall. 🙄

+1

And I think they voted last night to scrap this but the vote failed. Who put it in there? And why? Yo increase revenue with the tax? To kill the industries? Or to kill the BBB?

Ok, then lets pay the full cost of oil, including environmental remediation and the military subsidy. It comes to $12-14/gal instead of the ~$3 you are paying now.
