ACORE Statement on Senate Passage of Reconciliation Bill

July 1, 2025

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

“The clean energy industry has been clear eyed that a phase out of the clean energy tax credits was coming. While overall this is not the outcome we had hoped for, our industry will continue to press forward.

“Right now, American businesses have over $300 billion invested in renewable projects around the country. Wind, solar, and storage are the only energy sources that can be deployed at the scale and speed required to meet near-term demand and stabilize the grid. These technologies are essential to American energy security, supporting our economic prosperity and technological leadership. Right now, China is investing in clean energy to further consolidate their advantage in supply chains, manufacturing, and the AI arms race. They are focused on beating the United States – while we’ve just spent months debating which generation sources we support.

“We’re grateful to the lawmakers who stood up for policy certainty and a level playing field. The clean energy industry will keep building, keep hiring, and keep innovating. And we will continue to work with policymakers who believe that American energy leadership must include all technologies, including wind, solar, and storage – because our economy, our grid, and our global standing depend on it.”

Is There a Pattern in Republicans’ Behavior?

I’m not sure it’s as simple as this, insofar as Bush 41 and 43 weren’t criminal sociopaths.

I happened to be driving through Manhattan on the very day that Colin Powell was addressing the United Nations just a few miles away and claimed, and I think honestly, that Saddam Hussein had “weapons of mass destruction,” and must be stopped by a U.S. military invasion.

Contrast that against what we’re doing in Iran. Fifteen years ago, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), included Iran, the P5+1 nations (the United States, China, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany), alongside the European Union made an agreement in which most of the developed world agreed that Iran must not have a nuclear weapon.

That stood firmly in place until Trump’s latest war crime, which is costing lives and choking the world economy, solely to defend our president’s neuroses.

The Brennan Center at NYU’s seminal report on this issue, The Truth About Voter Fraud, found that most reported incidents of voter fraud are actually traceable to other sources, such as clerical errors or bad data matching practices. The report reviewed elections that had been meticulously studied for voter fraud and found incident rates between 0.0003 percent and 0.0025 percent.

Does that stop liars like Mike Lee from spreading disinformation of the subject? Of course not.

There is no judgement day. There is no Saint Peter standing in front of the Pearly Gates discerning good from evil and acting according.

That’s a lucky break for Mike Lee.

For most of our lives, many of us boomers have believed that the biggest threat to the United States was our president, starting with Tricky Dick Nixon, the inventor of the “trickle-down economics,” liar Ronald Reagan, and GW (the moron) Bush.
