Keep calling your Senators, hearing there's a bit of movement around some of the solar/wind cuts. (Not enough that any sane person would ever even consider voting for the stupid bill, of course, but still)

To put it another way, it takes the approach of actively penalizing the technologies of the 21st century and subsidizing the technologies of the 19th century. As solar, batteries, and electrification are rapidly adopted by the rest of the world, we are stepping backwards.

The latest version of the Senate's BBB is a death sentence for US energy leadership and a giant gift to China.
It eliminates tax cuts for solar that have been around since 2005, adds a new tax on solar after 2027, and creates a new direct subsidy for coal.

It’s hard to think of a single act by a single human that instantly damaged as many plans, careers, dreams in as many places around the globe
For a supreme (and cruel) narcissist, the rush must be exquisite

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Cottonwoods are now over 50” of snow since Thursday of last week. More importantly, they’ve added 4-5” of snow water equivalent (SWE). Next storm rolls in Wednesday afternoon.
