Plus these rates were negotiated with each university accounting meticulously for their systemic costs covering lab space, equipment, libraries, electricity, IT functions, and on and on. Would be ridiculous to calculate increments of all this separately for each project. It is not a damn ‘tip’!

Preach. Nothing wrong with that.

Then they should resign. They can’t do their jobs.

Part of the problem is the actual energy utility industry either thinks the GOP is posturing, or is so deep into their renewables switch that the IRA is meaningless to them. And to be fair it's really hard to take anybody who thinks another coal plant willl ever be built remotely seriously.

I hope that this appalling state of affairs will turbocharge Spanberger’s campaign.

No accident that this is happening in the state that housed the capital of the Confederacy.
