Bill Weir: If the BBB Passes, Deep Red States Will See Huge Energy Price Increase

EXCERPT:

WEIR: "Well, that‘s the thing. It would hurt Trump supporters in deep red states. Energy Innovations, this think tank just crunched the numbers and said, if you strip away these incentives right now, the average household in Texas, their electricity prices would go up almost 20%, you know, 750 bucks a year by 2035, South Carolina up 16%, Oklahoma up 18%. Forgive me, I said 20% on — it‘s 16% in Texas there. But these red states, and Democrats intentionally put a lot of these projects in red districts, hoping that when the lawmakers and the citizens there would see the benefits of this, it‘d be harder to rake back. And that‘s the fight we are seeing right now. But honestly, everybody from Elon Musk to the North American Building Trades Union is opposed to this. Industries, even some energy industries aren‘t a big fan of this because it takes away so many options right now of sun and wind, which are desperately needed to keep up in the AI fight."
