Did the green energy grift get removed?

Phased out by 2030. The EV subsidies are gone, too. I'm frankly stunned the Rs were able to do it.

If the deadline is 2030, then they are not really gone and will be renewed. It also matters, strongly, what the connect by date and the begin construction dates are.

There were so many variations there at the end, I wonder if anyone knows what we really got.

Anything later than the House Bill version or with loopholes, does not end the Green New Scam in reality.

I respectfully disagree. I know that's Alex Epstein's opinion, but the capital for those projects is going to dry up fast after next July's deadline to start construction. The wind industry will collapse - the solar industry will linger on at a diminished level.

I hope your prediction is the right one. You have a pretty great track record. :-)

I was afraid of that. How about defunding NPR? That would make my day.

2030 means they will exist in perpetuity because we may not hold the house until then and the dims will reinstate. Such another classic opportunity wasted by the GOP. 🙄
