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

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

To make matters still worse, the IRA not only drives the shutdowns of reliable electric capacity while subsidizing us into using more electric cars, it also coerces us into increasing electricity use in many other ways: electric heating, electric cooking, electric water heating. — PolitiTweet.org
