The Biden administration and Democratic leaders in Congress have made federal support for electric vehicles a centerpiece of the $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act.
=============================================================
U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm says billions of dollars in upgrades are needed to the power grid in the U.S. to prepare for widespread electric vehicle adoption.
The Biden administration and Democratic leaders in Congress have made federal support of electric vehicles a centerpiece of the $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act with the continuation of a $7,500 tax credit on the purchase of EVs and a $4,000 credit for used EV purchases.
"The power grid will definitely be upgraded, and part of this bill, as well as the bipartisan infrastructure law, is billions of dollars to make sure that we upgrade, add capacity and add resiliency to the grid," Granholm told Just the News after Biden's signing of the IRA.
Granholm said her department plans to put out guidance related to the renewable energy tax credits and other areas of the bill so the American public understands the areas of the bill that they can take advantage of this year and in 2023.
"They will be able to take advantage of, for example, putting solar panels on their roofs right away in 2022, the 30% tax credit, for example," she said. "There's so many provisions for moderate and low income families to be able to electrify their homes or to install energy efficiency. So between the two bills, a lot of that is available right now."
The renewable energy rebates will take longer to implement, likely well into 2023, Granholm explained.
"I think the rebates will take a bit of time because they have to move through Treasury, they've got to write the rules, they've got to get comments on them. So the rebates themselves will take a few months, well into 2023. "The tax credits will be available right away and so are the provisions related to weatherization."
TRILLIONS not Billions!.......................
It’s going to take a lotta solar panels and windmills to charge all those cars and trucks and semis!.....................
Thousands of people are going to lose their jobs or even die because of this crap.
People change housing on the average of every 7 years.
New job...you have to move. You think you'll get your money back? Try and find a buyer, too.
and don’t forget massive coal-fired power plants blasting pollution into the atmosphere with a cannon!
Where the billions you already have GranholmIdiot or ButtichumpIdiot?!
Wintertime in the northern tier states will be horrendous..................
They also claim to be worried about a finite supply of oil. How long can we keep producing all these batteries?
And the batteries...
Want widespread EV use? Better start building nuke plants ASAP!!!
“CORRECTION, Jennifer: TRILLIONS not Billions!”
Yep, and well into the Trillions. If it were Billions or even a few Trillion, the free market would have gone ‘renewable’ on its own.
They’re not even close to being honest.
“solar panels and windmills”
That is the Unicorn excrement energy plan—when complete everyone lives in a Third World *&^%hole with intermittent power (except for the government and wealthy zip codes).
Exactly right and that is what I was going to write.
A billion doesn’t buy much any more.
Add more TRILLIONS for the power plants to produce the electricity.
Lithium and water don’t mix.
Many will eventually find out.
I am currently traveling in the western states. There are many windmills on ridge tops. From personal observation about 1/3 are not turning. Given water levels at Lake Powell and Lake Mead are getting close to the point they dams will stop generating power, the wind and solar installations had better be in position to make up the slack.
Meanwhile the greens are using the crisis to push for the end of the dam at Lake Powell.
No 'Fossil' fuel plants! No Nuclear plants! No Geothermal plants! Just windmills and Solar Panels!..................
Governments everywhere are REQUIRING all new homes to come with a solar power plant on the roof AND an EV charger in the garage. You WILL take it and you WILL enjoy it, just like the homo and tranny crap they shove down our throats every single day.
On a side note the electric authority where I am recently slapped extreme restrictions on people with solar panels that are selling power back to them.
Also, my wife showed me an article the other day about a growing number of home owners insurance companies in our state are now looking to drop policy holders with solar panels mounted on their roofs. There reasoning is it compromises the integrity of the roof structure.
Holes in your roof might compromise the integrity of the roof structure?.....ya think?!
Wait until “they just notice” that all their green unreliable, low power density sources STILL require coal, oil, gas, nuclear, and hydro power plants to provide the base energy required to maintain civilization.
Nikola Tesla, you magnificent bastard, I read your book.
