ACORE Statement on Treasury’s Safe Harbor Guidance

August 15, 2025

Statement from American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) President and CEO Ray Long on Treasury’s Safe Harbor Guidance:

“The American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) is deeply concerned that today’s Treasury guidance on the long-standing ‘beginning of construction’ safe harbor significantly undermines its proven effectiveness, is inconsistent with the law, and creates unnecessary uncertainty for renewable energy development in the United States.

“For over a decade, the safe harbor provisions have served as clear, accountable rules of the road – helping to reduce compliance burdens, foster private investment, and ensure taxpayer protections. These guardrails have been integral to delivering affordable, reliable American clean energy while maintaining transparency and adherence to the rule of law. This was recognized in the One Big Beautiful Act, which codified the safe harbor rules, now changed by this action.

“We need to build more power generation now, and that includes renewable energy. The U.S. will need roughly 118 gigawatts (the equivalent of 12 New York Cities) of new power generation in the next four years to prevent price spikes and potential shortages. Only a limited set of technologies – solar, wind, batteries, and some natural gas – can be built at that scale in that timeframe.”

Indoctrinating Children into Religion

All I can say about the me here is that personally I refused, against considerable pressure from my family, to indoctrinate my children into something I myself could not accept.

Is it actually “psychological abuse” to indoctrinate children into monotheistic religion? Whether to take it that far is an open question.

My parents, both atheists, sent my brother and me to Sunday School, as they thought it wrong to cut us off from a modality of growing up in America in the early 1960s. I don’t blame them, but again, it’s not something I was willing to replicate with my own children.

Republicans’ Last-Ditch Effort to Lie to Voters

In less than a month, we’re going to learn how many idiots are buying this socialism crap.

Sure, there are people who don’t know anything about the way people live in northern England, New Zealand, Costa Rica, etc. Most of these people couldn’t find these countries on this globe.

But how many can there possibly be?

Clearly, Republicans are desperate, but isn’t asking voters to believe that the Swedes have to rely on the government for their job, salary, and food a bit over-the-top?

America in Collapse

I got the meme here from a neighbor, but I wonder who actually wrote it. There is a ton of propaganda on social media suggesting that we need to normalize the sociopathic criminality of the U.S. president.

It’s true that not every election is an apocalypse, but 2024 was disastrous for the U.S. democracy.

Yes, the country did not end. But it took a giant leap towards authoritarianism.

Even that’s not the end of the world. Democracies fail with great frequency on this planet. I just never thought I’d be living in the biggest socio-political collapse in the last 2000 years.

In an average week, I meet quite a few travelers here from lands all around this planet. Their most common thoughts on what’s happening here: “We simply feel sorry for you.”
