Bill Weir Praises China’s ‘Clean Energy’ Success: If the BBB Passes, We Will Lose the Game

EXCERPT:

WEIR: “Well, we got specific, you know, planned announcements, Stellantis EV plants up in the top of Illinois 16th district there, the Ford EV campus in Tennessee, outside of Memphis. There’s a Hyundai plant, Buddy Carter’s district in Georgia, in South Carolina. You can see there’s a key battleground states. And if you look at the top 20 IRA districts getting money, 14 of them are red districts or people like David Kustoff in Tennessee there, Richard Hudson in North Carolina. These are both permanent operational jobs in red, and then construction jobs to get them going. Mark Amodei up in the top of Nevada, 15,000 jobs there just in construction to get these clean energy things going. And so if you add them all up, these are about 75,000 permanent operational jobs in red Republican districts that would evaporate if this bill goes away. And at the same time, we’ve got to keep in mind, while these fights are going on in the United States, over in China, by some estimates, they’re — they’re installing about a million solar panels a week. Almost 50 percent of the cars in China now being sold are electric. So that’s where the world is going. Whether the United States wants to stay in that game, a lot of it will come down to the vote on this — on this bill.”
