We 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.

Too 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.

Yeah, it would be better to do nothing! /s

As 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.

We 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•1 year ago
No, the bill did not do that. Oil leases do not require Congress pass a bill and are completely unrelated.

And 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.

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.
