Even before the IRA, government policy was already threatening up to 185 GW of coal power in the next 7 years—about 1/5 of reliable capacity!—with the vast majority not replaced by reliable gas or nuclear. By increasing solar/wind subsidies the IRA will ruin our grid even more. https://t.co/uOoWeQ6BNQ — PolitiTweet.org

Solar/wind subsidies not only drive the shutdown of reliable power plants and loot taxpayers, they also inflate electricity prices. Because solar and wind can go near-zero at any given time, they don’t replace most of the costs of reliable power plants—they add to them. https://t.co/RRWP4WwytG — PolitiTweet.org

Here are current projections through 2030 for retirements vs. additions of reliable electricity capacity. Imagine looking at this disaster-in-waiting and saying “Let’s shut down even more reliable power plants!” Yet that’s what every supporter of the IRA effectively did. https://t.co/778XwfRInF — PolitiTweet.org
