Looks like the utility companies are going to buy themselves some votes in congress.

US utilities want Trump, Republicans to save inflation act, Edison CEO says

 

"For EEI members, which include US and international investor-owned utilities such as AES, Edison International, Duke Energy and Southern Company, retaining IRA tax credits for energy storage, transmission, nuclear power, hydrogen, EVs and others are crucial for continued growth, Pizarro said. "

 

 

""It's really across the board."  EEI members will spend the coming months reaching out to members on Capitol Hill, he said. "We'll be very active there, just explaining the benefits of the IRA," he said."

 

It shouldn't be too hard for the utilities to get enough Republicans in their back pocket to preserve the IRA. In the Senate,  all they have to do is buy Lindsay Graham some shrimp and he'll be on board!

Elon Musk is making Republicans embrace EV Vehicles 

RFK is making Republicans embrace socialized medicine

Trump is making Republicans embrace hawkish trade policies

 

There's a lot of leftist Trojan Horses entering the Republican Party.   Its not all bad.

If a Liberal is writing the article, remember that everyone of them told you that Sleepy Joe was as sharp as a tack.  I choose to never trust a proven liar...and they all knew that Joe was a mess.

Wow, you've really been chewing on that same old bone a lot! Boiler, do you have anything else on your mind...at all?

Racist Boiler, "If I don't like the message, it must be a liberal, if it's not a liberal, I'll lie and say it is."

18 Republicans wrote Mike Johnson a letter asking him to not kill the IRA. Three times as much money from the IRA goes to red states as to blue states. That MAGA defection might be enough to save the bill.

 

But y'know what? I want the IRA to be killed! Why the fuck should our "liberal" tax dollars go towards making the lives of red state people better? Screw them!

Kevin Lewis: if I don't like the message it must be racist and bigoted.

Did I hurt your feelings by commenting on racist boiler? I don't care what you say about Kevin, I find it odd you would reply to a comment I made talking about Kevin. Strange, very strange.
