- crooked-v 7mo agoThere's a huge difference between getting rid of tax credits, and doing things like forcing unprofitable and obsolete coal plants to say open (https://stateline.org/2026/03/19/trump-is-forcing-coal-plants-to-stay-open-it-could-cost-customers-billions/ https://stateline.org/2026/03/19/trump-is-forcing-coal-plant...) and attempting to arbitrarily ban free market renewable energy projects under no valid legal basis (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn7k6p6k5x5o https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn7k6p6k5x5o).
- danny_codes 7mo agoSeems current admin wants less choice. No imports of EVs from countries that do it better and no support for local EV makers. As for tax credits, sure, push policy requires spending. But then this admin has spent approximately 100B trying to reduce spending and instead increased spending, so this seems like penny-wise pound foolish
