    Apparently the bill not only removes solar subsidies but actually taxes solar starting in 2027.

    While subsidizing coal.

    Republicans decided solar and batteries were gay energy so we lost to China all these industries we invented.

            "Even a small fluctuation in power causes AI training to fail"?

            I am skeptical of that claim.

              I have no idea either way. But it seems pretty clear that whether China or the US ‘wins’ AI matters a lot, and electricity figures large in that.

              We should be ‘all of the above’ x 100 rather than taxing modern “gay” energy while subsidizing 19th century “manly” energy.

                  As budget gimmicks go, I don’t think this has ever been topped.

                  Senate Republicans are simultaneously using current policy scoring to pretend $3.8 trillion in tax cuts are free - and using current law scoring to get away with having temporary tax cuts appear $1.5 trillion cheaper.

                    Kind of stupid to have the Democrat force the reading of the bill word by word. 16 hours. LOL

                    Not sure what they were trying to accomplish.
