The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS have released final rules for the Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit, also known as Section 45X of the Internal Revenue Code, to spur continued growth of U.S. clean energy manufacturing.

The credit aims to help to level the playing field for U.S. companies to onshore production of critical clean energy technologies like solar and wind components, batteries and energy storage and critical minerals.

In particular, the final rules will accelerate the buildout of domestic critical mineral supply chains by allowing taxpayers to include materials costs and extraction costs in production costs for applicable minerals and electrode active materials, provided certain conditions are met.

“The Biden-Harris Administration’s economic agenda is driving a manufacturing boom across the country that I’ve seen first-hand in North Carolina, Kentucky and Georgia,” says U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen.

“These investments are creating good-paying jobs, strengthening U.S. supply chains and lowering costs for American consumers and businesses. The final rules announced today will help companies continue to invest and innovate in the United States as we build out our clean energy economy.”

We’re Running Out of Time

There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:

• World fascism.  (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)

• Environmental collapse.

• Malicious use of AI.

• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.

• Nuclear war.

Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth?  One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.

Obviously, James Carville has been wrong before, but it appears that he’s onto something here.

An ever-increasing number of Americans are realizing that Trump is criminally insane, and is leading this nation to destruction.

The Economics of Climate Change Mitigation

It’s a pleasure to see that Dr. Brian Cox has people so popular, having joined the ranks for Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and a few others.  This phenomenon of celebrity physicists if one of very few bright spots in our modern world.

I would qualify what he says at left as follows: the only people who hate the economics here are those invested in fossil fuels.  Clean energy and transportation are already huge industries, and they’re growing at an amazing pace–even in the face of heavy suppression by Big Oil and Donald Trump.
