More than 100 Lawmakers Urge Banking Regulators to Revise Basel III Tax Equity Provisions to Not Imperil Clean Energy Transition
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Led by U.S. Congressman Sean Casten (IL-06), 106 lawmakers sent a letter today to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, Federal Deposit Insurance Commission Chairman Martin Gruenberg, and Acting Comptroller of the Currency Michael Hsu, urging the agencies to revise tax equity provisions in the proposed Basel III rules that could imperil the clean energy transition. Following is a statement from Lesley Hunter, Senior Vice President of Programs and Sustainable Finance for the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE):
“Tax equity is a predominant source of financing in the U.S. renewable energy market, and it is critical that federal agencies immediately clarify a risk weight for renewable energy tax equity reflective of these investments’ loan-like characteristics, low-risk profile, and overwhelmingly positive historical returns. Near-term action is essential to avoid stifling crucial financing for the renewable sector at a time when it is needed most.”

Those who stand in opposition to the president have dozens of different reasons for their feelings. One, as is on display here, is that he’s an ignoramus.
Not sure about this.
A magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School might struggle to identify a bear. Could be.
This is the intelligence level of the American electorate today.
The Chinese ownership of American farmland is less than 0.00036, or 0.036%. To put this into perspective, if the entirety of U.S. farmland were reduced to one acre, the Chinese government and business interests would own less than 15 square feet, about half the size of a small broom closet.
Yet, true to form, this is a huge issue for the MAGA base.
