The One Big "Beautiful" Bill will increase energy costs for American households and businesses, increase taxes on new electricity supplies at a time of rapid demand growth, and substantially increase U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. That sounds like a big bad bill to me...

Very sincerely, every bit of travel we do in an EV, on a train, on a bus, on a bike/e-bike, by walking or rolling, or by other active transport, helps the climate, helps air quality, and helps national & economic security. We should fund these as national security infrastructure.
