also.... expands the federal government, feeds federal money to democrat pet projects....this was just democrats desperate to spend a bunch of money before losing congress potentially
you guys better be weatherizing, driving electric vehicles, converting your home into an electric vehicle charging station and put solar panels on your roof so you can spend all of the extra money you will have as a result to help reduce inflation ...
"Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm confused millions of Americans this week when she claimed Democrats will fight inflation by providing “tax credits” for families to “weatherize their homes from climate change.”
“What, specifically, will the Inflation Reduction Act do to lower costs for Americans right now?” asked a host at CNN.
Biden Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm: “If you install an electric vehicle charging station in your home, you can also get a tax credit!”

scott, are you saying that if i put an EV charging station at my house, that WON’T lower the cost of food and groceries for middle class americans? how about if I put a wind turbine in my backyard, surely that will lower the cost of chicken back to where it was a year ago?

you'd better not be riding around on lawn tractors, running CHAINSAWS...or gas leaf blowers...snow blowers, generators, using outboard engines...or eating any red meat....especially if cooked on a gas grill...
I wonder if our resident environmentalists are doing any of these nasty things? |

You really are reaching now, just because we feel globally everyone needs to take global warming serious, doesn’t mean we just sell everything we use and attempt to get the same performance out of an electric equivalent. If you knew anything about chainsaw carving, since I’m sure that on caps was directed at me, you would understand the serious drawback of electric saws. I sold my center console and peddle a kayak, do I get points for that? I’d love a good steak, but years back we gave up red meat, but that’s making me want a nice bone in rib-eye. Change is cumulative if everyone and countries need to take steps to cut back year by year, but snarky man thinks we can just swing over everything. |

it depends,
did you stop eating red meat over your concern that you were contributing to the destruction of the earth by eating red meat or due to your own health reasons.... or to end animal suffering?
did you go from outboard motor to kayak due to your concern over what fossil fuels are doing to the planet or for some other reason? |
