The "Inflation Reduction Act" pretended to be pro-nuclear by including nuclear under "clean energy" subsidies. But since nuclear overregulation makes new plants cost-prohibitive, the IRA’s endless "clean energy" subsidies created an endless trough for solar/wind. — PolitiTweet.org

Solar/wind subsidies are driving reliable power plants out of business, leading to higher costs and lower reliability. Ominously, the "IRA" recently extended them *indefinitely*. A future Congress should end solar/wind subsidies, driving lower prices + higher reliability. — PolitiTweet.org

Another solar/wind subsidy of the IRA is "green hydrogen." The IRA forces us to give those who make hydrogen using solar and wind an extra $3/kg. That’s twice the normal market price! This is like forcing taxpayers to pay gas stations an extra $8/gallon! — PolitiTweet.org
