In the wake of the election of President Donald Trump to serve a second term in office, along with presumptive Republican majorities in both houses of Congress, many are now asking about what the future will hold for the oddly named Inflation Reduction Act.
Trump made it repeatedly clear on the campaign trail that he is not a fan of that law, which was passed on straight party-line votes in both houses of Congress, or of the hundreds of billions of dollars in green energy subsidies contained in it.
But a full repeal of the IRA seems unlikely to succeed, even with GOP control of the House and Senate. Republican majorities will be slim and the GOP has never shown an ability to hold all its members together when voting on controversial issues. Thus, a more scalpel-like approach seems more likely to succeed.
Tom Pyle, president of D.C.-based think tank the Institute for Energy Research, said he believes President Trump “absolutely should” pursue a full repeal of that law. “The vast array of subsidies embedded in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is already destabilizing our electricity grid, while the spending further fuels inflation and contributes to soaring government deficits.”

Might be? Oh I think it’s more definitive than that.
I hope so....watching farmland being turned into solar farms is an abomination. And remember, the larger the population, the more C02 necessary for a food supply.

I am not a fan of more laws, but the focus here is the NET.
Prove there is a warming planet that is being heated by a trace gas and then we will talk. Enough fake science like the Pandemic science.
👍👍👍👍👍
“Might”??
It should be Numero Uno to go.
Our friends from down south will understand that lingo. As will those in Rio Linda.
>>> But a full repeal of the IRA seems unlikely <<<
Then why have elections.
Is JF’nK over there by the Caspian Ecological Nightmare forking over borrowed American ca$h to the Climate Grifters?
Oh my the climate is changing ,LOL
They could just rename it the Inflation Increase Act.
“Republican majorities will be slim and the GOP has never shown an ability to hold all its members together”
It is not the GOP, it’s the GOPe/uniparty until they prove otherwise.
It’s really just a Dem donor subsidy act. Get rid of it.
When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
Furthermore, prove that a warming planet would be a bad thing and unprecedented in Earth’s history.
Yea, the recent snow in Saudi Arabia over a sand dune that had never, ever, been seen before in history.
Winning!
Kill it please. Save this nation.
Lets get this right ITS A SCAM
Ok you just hit on it.
We have a farm in Illinois and some company got a bunch of government money to put in solar panels. They’re hounding us to use our land. Ridiculous considering it’s some of the most valuable farmland on the planet.
If the project doesn’t pan out and the company bails then the county (you read that right) has to remove the panels if we agree to have them installed.
Some panels have doping metals that are hazardous waste.
What if a tornado or hail destroys the panels? Then you’ve ruined the soil, and possibly other farmers’ soil too.
Who foots the cleanup bill? Our family?
The whole project seems like rubbish to me. We should stick to corn and wheat.
