Well that's an improvement. Any idea whether the Senate Finance Committee had anything to do wtih the change? They're the ones who gave us the initial, disastrous, Senate language.

Jeff, I agree that the Senate Finance Committee probably came up with the change, but I haven't been able to confirm that. It was such a whiplash from the first draft. It will be interesting to find out where the change came from. Ed

Well isn't that interesting. I was just visiting with a neighbor who informed me Alabama Power just canceled a project to build a 600 acre solar farm adjacent to my property. He's a solid source so I have no doubt what he shared with me is true.

Rick, many wind and solar projects have been cancelled recently, no doubt because the financing dried up. The writing was on the wall that wind and solar projects under the Trump Administration were doomed. If the current Senate version of the BBB is passed, it will likely mean the end of new wind and solar energy projects. We already have more than our power grids can absorb. Thanks for the comment, Rick. Ed

This is the time for all energy humanists to exert their influence on the media and Wash DC.

Yes, it is the time, Stephen. I have a good feeling about it. Unfortunately, politics is not always predictable. Ed

Maybe we should all go to Truth and post our approval to DJT? I plan to share this with all my contacts and those in the largest Stop Solar and Wind groups, while asking them to share also. There are a LOT of little guys (Davids) who are out here fighting this garbage daily. There are also groups all over the world.

Great idea, Mary Mc. This tax on wind and solar is a great idea. Thanks for reading! Ed

Look at the stock price trend of any green energy dominate company (Ex: Solar Edge Tech).

Every single one of them were in trouble when it became obvious biden couldn't

wiggle into a second term and keep propping up the scam. Reality set in hard when Trumps admin took over. Still, took a lot of arm twisting. Subsidies are at the core of it.

True, Jim. Many wind and solar projects are already failing because their financing was cancelled. Wind and solar are money losers without subsidies, and lenders know it. Hopefully, we stay on this track. Ed

Hopeful - but as they say it ain’t over ‘till it’s over.

Very true, Jeff. The next few days will be interesting to watch. Ed

Heavily researched does not guarantee correct. Even one erroneous assumption in common renders pages of references, papers and citations useless. CAGW’s GHE contains three such assumptions.

GHE claims without it Earth becomes 33 C cooler, a 255 K, -18 C, ball of ice.

Wrong.

Naked Earth would be much like the Moon, barren, 400 K lit side, 100 K dark.

TFK_bams09 heat balance graphic uses the same 63 twice violating GAAP and calculating out of thin air a 396 BB/333 “back”/63 net GHE radiative forcing loop violating LoT 1 & 2.

Wrong.

Likewise, the ubiquitous plethora of clones.

GHE requires Earth to radiate “extra” energy as a BB.

Wrong.

A BB requires all energy leaving the system to do so by radiation. Per TFK_bams09 60% leaves by kinetic modes, i.e. conduction, convection, advection and latent rendering BB impossible.

GHE is bogus and CAGW a scam so alarmists must resort to fear mongering, lies, lawsuits, censorship and violence.

Wow! Not often you see sudden sanity attacks like this in Washington. Color me hopeful.

Next up, get rid of requiring mRNA technology in pharmaceuticals which is in the bill, also. No more GOF research!
