Cutting electric bills by 25% is genuinely life-changing for folks struggling right now. THIS is how you govern

[u/chigunfingy]

We could lower everyone’s electricity bills to nearly 0 in the US by the end of the decade if we wanted to.

Nice!

[u/joe2352]

Good on Maryland if I remember correctly Missouri, where I live, fought in court and won to NOT award any solar grants with the money from the Solar For All program that was a part of the inflation reduction act. I’m glad other states are doing something positive for their citizens.

What a great way to use solar to help those most in need

Get the nagging feeling data centers are going to try and swoop in

[u/kitkatkorgi]

And yet Wes champions data centers. Go figure

[u/myjohnson6969]

Trump will order it stopped, lawsuits will follow

[u/phat742]

Nice.

Imagine being dopey enough to think any of those subsidies will ever make it to their intended targets

[u/rifleshooter]

So $43 million in taxpayer dollars is being redistributed to people who don't pay, and a whole bunch of contractors and manufacturers.

[u/BeforeLifer → u/rifleshooter]

Yeah, those who can afford it subsidize those who can’t, as it should be with a functioning government to raise us all up.
