The bill prioritizes use of agricultural land for food over renewables (using just 0.05% of acres vs. biofuels' 30-40% of corn/soy), curbs land cost inflation, and favors U.S. energy.
It also bans Chinese solar panels, ends wind/solar tax credits post-2027, and extends biofuel credits to 2029.
This is common-sense stuff to me. America chooses America and food-supply security. The article is horribly biased.
- rwyinuse 1y agoIf "choosing America" means significantly higher Co2 emissions, then that's not a good strategy for maintaining food supply security. Extreme and more unpredictable weather makes farming difficult, especially without irrigation. Any country that still sees fossil fuels as primary form of power generation is basically risking its (and everyone else's) food supply in the future.

- hereme888 1y agoAs I understand, CO2 emissions by the US have been decreasing since the year 2000. The US has decreased its emissions by 1.2% in the past year, while China has increased it by 1.9%. This bill is not increasing CO2 emissions, just creating a more sensible change, and also protecting the American economy.
