The IRA coerces grids and consumers into using costly, unreliable solar/wind electricity that they wouldn’t otherwise choose because it’s too expensive. E.g., it *indefinitely* extends costly subsidies for unreliable solar/wind that defund and shut down reliable gas/coal plants. — PolitiTweet.org

At the same time the IRA is promoting the shutdown of reliable electricity generation, it is—insanely—promoting far more use of electric cars via subsidies. California recently previewed the IRA by telling citizens there wasn’t enough power for EVs even at 3% market penetration. https://t.co/BjUc25ZdFt — PolitiTweet.org
