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.”

John Eastman, One of Trump’s Attorney Henchmen in an Attempt to Overthrow the U.S. Government, Is Disbarred
In April of this year, the California Supreme Court disbarred attorney John Charles Eastman. This after the State Bar Court Review Department in July 2025 affirmed the findings of the State Bar Court Hearing Department’s March 2024 recommendation, which found Eastman culpable of 10 out of 11 charges for egregious and deceitful conduct and recommended his disbarment.
Apparently, certain bodies within the United States are still trying to maintain justice here in America.

Statement on FERC Actions Regarding Large Load Interconnection from ACORE President and CEO Ray Long
Statement on FERC Actions Regarding Large Load Interconnection from ACORE President and CEO Ray Long
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Thank you to Chairman Swett and the Commissioners of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for setting the path forward for creating greater clarity and efficiency, protecting consumers, and providing greater cost transparency for the interconnection of large loads to the grid while also recognizing the unique features of each region. The United States is experiencing historic growth in electricity demand, and FERC’s ction to ensure that every regional grid operator sets fair rules for connecting large loads represents a constructive step toward ensuring the electric grid is prepared for tomorrow’s demand.
We also appreciate the Commissioners ensuring that grid operators identify all opportunities to use advanced transmission technologies to reduce the costs to upgrade our electricity transmission system.
ACORE and our members look forward to working with FERC and other federal partners on further improvements to load and generator interconnection, additional steps on deploying advanced technologies, and delivering critical transmission expansion.

… You’ll believe that Trump is the only force keeping Americans safe–not only from Muslims, but also from feminists, proponents of abortions rights (aka murdering babies), DEI, wokeness, gays, blacks, immigrants, news journalists, the radical left, gun control, environmentalists, healthcare advocates, wind turbine-caused cancer, intellectual elitism, socialism and anti-capitalism, vaccinations, chemtrails, atheism, and satanism.
The dumber America gets the easier it is to make these arguments. Therefore, we need to fight against our colleges and universities.
