For people who want news coverage of this, the are articles from the Associated Press and Reuters
Igloojoe ( @Igloojoe@lemm.ee ) 10•8 months agoWe probably won’t see a dime here in Texas since our dumbass politicians think it’s best to separate ourselves from the grid. In hopes that Texas might sucede or some stupid shit.
blazera ( @blazera@kbin.social ) 9•8 months agoToo many undefined asterisks. Everytime they say clean energy im skeptical, like its intentionally distinct from renewable energy. Like natural gas projects with carbon offset schemes, or some bullshit like clean coal again.
TigrisMorte ( @TigrisMorte@kbin.social ) 6•8 months agoYeah, it would be better to do nothing! /s
blazera ( @blazera@kbin.social ) 8•8 months agoAs opposed to more fossil fuel projects, yeah.
Looking a bit more into the specific projects though, it looks like there’s no energy generating projects at all here, its all distribution infrastructure, with sprinklings of renewable energy wording because they use powerlines too.
TigrisMorte ( @TigrisMorte@kbin.social ) 3•8 months agoYour desperation to be displeased, while oh so edgy and endearing to the ladies, isn’t helpful.
blazera ( @blazera@kbin.social ) 3•8 months agoWe are talking about the bill that issued millions of acres in new oil and gas leasing. Im fully expecting emissions to continue increasing
TigrisMorte ( @TigrisMorte@kbin.social ) 2•8 months agoNo, the bill did not do that. Oil leases do not require Congress pass a bill and are completely unrelated.
TigrisMorte ( @TigrisMorte@kbin.social ) 2•8 months agoAnd thus proving my statement. Prompted does not mean legislated. Yes, to appease Manchin they had to line his pockets. It is sad but once more you prove that your assumptions are invalid.
SkepticElliptic ( @SkepticElliptic@beehaw.org ) 2•8 months agoCarbon “sequestration”
NattyNatty2x4 ( @NattyNatty2x4@beehaw.org ) 1•8 months agoClean usually means nuclear is included
hanni ( @hanni@lemmy.one ) 4•8 months agoRookie numbers
It’s part of the Inflation Reduction Act, so it’s far from the only thing happening. My expectation is that consistent with the history of US electric supply, private capital will supply the bulk of what’s needed here.
