ACORE Statement on House Passage of Reconciliation Bill

July 3, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The following is a statement from Ray Long, President and CEO of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), following House passage of the reconciliation bill:

“Today’s vote represents a missed opportunity to sustain momentum towards strengthening American energy security, lowering energy costs for families and businesses, and unlocking hundreds of thousands of new, good-paying jobs across the country.

“We are in a global race – not just for clean energy leadership, but for dominance in the technologies that will define the future, including artificial intelligence. China is aggressively investing in clean energy and digital infrastructure because they understand that energy security and economic competitiveness go hand in hand. This bill should have matched that urgency.

“Despite this setback, the clean energy industry remains committed to building the future. We’re already driving more than $300 billion in private investment, delivering reliable power, and creating jobs in every region of the country. Stable tax policies would have allowed us to do even more.

“We’re deeply grateful to the members of Congress who stood up for American innovation, affordability, and energy security. And we will continue to work with leaders on both sides of the aisle who believe that our energy strategy must include every tool we have – wind, solar, storage, and all technologies that move our country forward.”

I met a gentleman from South Africa yesterday, and I told him that I’m sure he knows that Trevor Noah is a huge thing here in the U.S.

He replied that he doesn’t like Trevor Noah and explained that he doesn’t think politics and comedy should be mixed.

I thought that to be peculiar, as political humor has been a big deal here for centuries, and has grown mightily since the 1970s. Think of Saturday Night Live and all the late-night television hosts that have come along and achieved huge popularity.

More to the point, this is Trevor Noah’s brand. It’s what he does–and sells for a living. It’s like Nike and its swoosh and it’s “Just do it” slogan.

I have a feeling that what he objects to is the mixing of left-wing politics and comedy, because he doesn’t like to see progressive ideas promoted in society.

I’m not a financial pro, but here’s some advice:

Don’t live on a budget. Make a lot of money and live far beneath your means. What value does luxury actually bring to your life, especially if it makes you nervous about running out of cash?

As I told my kids when they were growing up, “Unless you’re completely shallow, showing off your money is an idiotic thing to do. You make false friends and have people glomming onto you to sell you stuff you really don’t need.”

Warren Buffett still lives in a modest house in Nebraska, a state in which he could buy an entire country. Maybe there is something about him and his values that could benefit you.
