Treasury Department, IRS Release Initial Guidance on Technology-Neutral Tax Credits

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released initial guidance today on the technology-neutral tax credits (Sections 45Y and 48E). Following is a statement from Ray Long, President and CEO of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), on the guidance:

“Today’s announcement is another ‘win’ for American consumers seeking affordable, reliable, and clean electricity.

“The technology-neutral tax credit simplifies the tax code and is expected to lower the average annual electric bill by $29-74 per household in the next six years and $42-95 by 2035. This amounts to tens of billions of dollars in electricity cost savings for U.S. families.

“The tax credit increases American energy security and reliability by deploying new clean electric generation from wind, solar, battery storage, and other zero-carbon technologies. Analysis has shown that by 2035, clean energy capacity will increase by up to 50%.

“From this clean energy deployment, our environment will be substantially cleaner. By 2035, carbon emissions are expected to drop 43-73% below 2022 levels.

“This is truly a game-changing policy for all Americans. ACORE applauds the Treasury Department for releasing this guidance, and we look forward to the significant economic growth, job creation, and other benefits that will follow.”

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.

Illegal Immigrants Are Voting Huge?

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.
