ACORE Statement on Rep. Casten and Rep. Levin’s Introduction of the CETA Act

December 13, 2023

Statement From Jose Zayas, Executive Vice President of Policy and Programs at the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE):

“A significant buildout of the nation’s transmission system is imperative to achieving a clean energy grid that will provide emissions reductions, reliability and resilience improvements, and cost savings.

“ACORE strongly supports the Clean Electricity and Transmission Acceleration (CETA) Act for its comprehensive approach to tackling the myriad of barriers to building a 21st century Macro Grid. The CETA Act offers much-needed solutions to enhance interregional transmission planning, facilitate cost allocation, streamline transmission permitting, establish a minimum transfer requirement, reform participant funding, and provide a standalone transmission investment tax credit.

“We applaud Representatives Casten and Levin for their leadership and look forward to working with members of Congress to advance this important and comprehensive legislation.”

To the author of the meme here, FWIW, I agree. My wife employed a decent number of immigrants from Mexico for her horse breeding operation, and I found them to be hardworking, honest, respectful, and family-oriented.

A Few Idiots Believe the Left Really IS Radical

The vast majority of Americans have liberal views. We favor a woman’s right to choose abortion, high-quality public education, affordable healthcare, clear air and water, the use of science in policymaking, equal rights for minority ethnicities and religions, and efforts to trim the enormous gap between rich and poor.

It would be very interesting to know what percentage of U.S. voters believe that liberals hate America, that we believe our country “is fundamentally evil and the only remedy is destroying our nation with mass migration (sic).”

Trump’s approval rating is about 30%, and a few percent of that is the amoral super-rich. So, possibly it’s in the high 20s.

But aren’t there at least some MAGA folks who would concede that educated people don’t necessarily hate America? My mother lived on a steady diet of Fox News, but even she had respect for Bernie Sanders, about whom she said, “I admire his sincerity, misguided though it is.”
