Myth 10: The IRA will save us $1.9T in “social costs” This fiction comes from a “model” that 1) ignores the huge costs of increased dependence on unreliable solar/wind and of new, onerous restrictions on fossil fuels. 2) assumes fractions of a degree warming are catastrophic. — PolitiTweet.org

For a mild preview of climate danger under the IRA, see Europe—where citizens are increasingly afraid of summer and (especially) winter—not because of 1°C warming in the past 170 yrs but because many can’t afford AC and heat. Just part of the hardship caused by “green” policies. — PolitiTweet.org

The White House’s celebrated “$1.9 trillion” number comes from an extremely speculative model assessment by the WH’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that ranges from "$0.7 and $1.9 trillion" in "social benefits" over 3 decades. This “model” does not at all model reality. — PolitiTweet.org
