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

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

At the same time the IRA is hastening 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/TShGIh93e2 — PolitiTweet.org
