The Republicans Pushing Trump to Save Biden’s Clean Energy Tax Credits. Some Republicans are making the case that supporting renewable energy is squarely in line with Trump’s “energy dominance” agenda, despite the president’s rallying against what he calls the “green new scam.”

  1. Red states will be left in the Stone Age if they don’t adapt renewables. Look how hard they just got hit by fires and tornadoes this past week as well. Maybe they’ll wake up.

    Not to mention blue states can afford it without subsidies and have already widely adopted renewables.

  2. Historians of the future will look at all of such stupid decisions by King Trump as one of the catalysts that tore apart the USA

  3. Trump calls it a “Green Scam”…because he doesn’t understand it…China will win this technology battle and the world will buy green tech from China and USA will loose BIGGLY….

  4. See I agree with this… you need both. OF course people are going to want green energy, but it take time to scale out everything to make use of it. People still cook and heat their homes with gas. That isnt going to change over night or even 10 years from now. The only time people will change these things is if the power it self becomes cheaper than gas or they are switching to electric because they have to get a new unit / afford the change. They’re going to run their ICE cars as well till they need a new car… they might then switch to EV.. but again, it depends on if they can afford it (new vs used / supply). Going both is the way forward. No question on that. At some point, Green will take over because that should be the nature of price off setting.

  6. Those Republicans wishing to promote clean energy against Trump’s regressive populist agenda will dogeza themselves and fall in line with their bullet-pointed excuses once they are threatened with primary challenges.

  7. Renewables make sense, but since Biden agreed with that idea obviously they are bad in Republican and more importantly Dummy’s eyes. Biden, therefore bad, is all you need to know.

  9. Not only that but the so-called “green new scam” has sparked a manufacturing renaissance in the US that is creating hundreds of thousand of good middle class jobs, mostly in Republican districts. And helping the US become less dependent on China. There are many good reasons to support this, and none to oppose it. The law is also reducing drug costs and the deficit.

  10. It’s almost like no one understands or believes in anything and it’s ALL political WOW!!!

  11. It’s a “scam” because green energy takes away profit from him and his buddies 

  14. Trump repeatedly sneered at electric cars at his rallies and now he’s hawking them on the White House lawn. I feel like I’m watching some HBO comedy. But a fiction writer would be hard pressed to invent something more ridiculous.

  15. If he saves it.he will rename it.because it is good for the country and the economy.we know they don’t care about the environment.or the future

  16. Carbon credits are a big money SCAM! Most of the natur3 conservatory is billionaire property.

  17. The more Tesla stock tanks (down over 6% so far today), the more Musk is gonna sweat and freak out as it gets closer to him getting a margin call (which could be his financial collapse). He staked TSLA shares as collateral when he bought Twitter. Some say the magic number is $114. We saw that ridiculous Tesla commercial at the White House. So extending the EV tax credit will happen as a Hail Mary to bail out Tesla. We should expect it any day now.

  18. When you have stock in green companies, you tend to push back to anti-green policies

  19. Yeah with Texas putting in the amount of solar that they did, I’m sure some Republicans have a financial interest in keeping the tex credits

  20. Anything with Biden’s name tied too it will die a fast death

  22. I cannot wait to watch trump hamstring his own country, letting them be left in the dust by China and the rest of the world. They’re going to be so far behind that they’ll be out of the game.

  23. Feels like an article from “The Onion”

    Life has become a self parody.
