Another Voice: Climate jobs are creating a turnaround in Buffalo
Buffalo News ^ | August 16, 2023 | by Sen. Charles E. Schumer and Jon Powers

Posted on 08/16/2023 3:44:58 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

... One year ago, Democrats in Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act. It provided an unprecedented $370 billion for climate action, which could create up to 9 million new jobs over the next decade – and it’s expected that those numbers could grow. When all is said and done, we believe it will signal a turning point not just in America’s clean energy economy, but in New York’s clean energy job creation, too.

But ever since the Inflation Reduction Act was enacted, extremists in Washington have sought to unravel it. It’s strikingly similar to what they tried to do to the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, before eventually relenting after that law proved so successful.

The worst thing we can do right now is let politics undermine New York’s clean jobs and manufacturing boom. So we’re urging New Yorkers to oppose partisan attempts to defund New York’s clean energy jobs.

Now more than ever, we need to maximize clean job growth across the country. Climate change is here. New Yorkers felt the impact when wildfire smoke from Canada shut much of our state down. July saw the hottest temperatures ever in many parts of the world. And rising ocean temperatures threaten fragile ecosystems and economic resources.

Time is short: We urge New York’s local leaders to seize the opportunity presented by the IRA. We urge New Yorkers to shout down partisan attempts to defund clean energy jobs .

And we urge the opponents of the IRA to stand down.

370 billion of our tax money going to a temporary increase in unemployment, all looks good on paper and nothing more. This weasel never changes his spots

Lies. Did the Buffalo Fake News allow for rebuttal?

Obama’s Death Panel Law is NOT A SUCCESS.

And the garbage Inflation Ad Nauseum Act is bad news too.

I’m guessing that Jon Powers(D-NY) doesn’t realize that those who go against the Constitution are the “Extremists.”

I could win the lottery and could become the starting quarterback for the NY Giants.

One year ago, Democrats passed money-hungry Biden’s misnomered “Inflation Reduction Act” ....... after he woke up from his nap.

It deceptively provided an unprecedented $370 billion for “climate action,” and a cut for the Biden Crime Family, which “Biden said” could create up to 9 million new jobs over the next decade.

But ever since Biden got the salivating Congress to pass the idiotic Inflation Reduction Act, savvy truth-telling opponents exposed the Biden Act’s deceitfulness.

Biden’s effort is strikingly similar to the deception Obama foisted on American via the heinous Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, even falsely claiming that atrocity proved to be “successful.”

Only in the District Of Congo, led by a Golden Calf scumbag is printing $350 billion out of thin air, considered a reduction in inflation.

The world is truly going through end times but not because of the Climate Hoax.

The ONLY solution now is to dump a trillion megatons of gas on Washington DC and light a match. Nothing else will suffice. /spit

At the cost of how many other jobs elsewhere?

How may jobs were lost elsewhere by being taxed out o existence?

How many jobs are being eliminated by EPA regulations on carbon?

Obviously these people never learned about “Opportunity Cost” in Screwl

CleanCapital is also a CIA cut-out making bank on the \subsidies\ from the taxpayers.

Past, present and future. Buffalo being situated at the northeast corner of Lake Erie is prone to receive “lake effect” snow from time to time. No big deal to Buffalonians, you just crank up the snow blower and carry on. It builds character.

Junk jobs purporting to solve an imaginary crisis help only the people paid to do them.

Anyone know whether the Tesla solar panel plant on the Buffalo/Lackawanna town line is still running?

This plant was proposed to become the largest solar panel manufacturer in the USA. I do not think it has ever come close to producing even close to what was promised.
I think Elon visited the place once not long after it opened.
