@SimonMahan @MsLizBowman Is nuclear energy renewable or are you being a (probably) technology traitor right now?

@AriPeskoe @JesseJenkins Help me cultivate a diverse set of views please. Which position will you take? I’ll keep sharing that video because it’s the only glimpse I’ve gotten into the lame duck Biden policy of “throwing gold bars off the titanic” If you have insights to shed more light, please share!

@AriPeskoe @JesseJenkins Happy to set that up. What position will you take? Pro-cronyism or anti? Or selectively pro-cronyism when it helps certain industries but not others?

@AriPeskoe @JesseJenkins I agree it’s embarrassing, but not the way you mean it When can we debate the IRA then? Do you need a minute to calm down?

@AriPeskoe @JesseJenkins Shame on you for being duped by the IRA. The subsidy bankers are busy right now trying to figure out how to extend the PTC to natural gas generation. It’s always been a shitty, dirty subsidy scheme. Will you ever call it out?

@AriPeskoe @JesseJenkins He provided a lot more transparency into the process than the last administration. Would be nice to get info from less cringey sources next time!

@Ed_of_O @JesseJenkins I’m not defending the freeze. Like I said, this conversation is much dirtier and more nuanced than @JesseJenkins indicated, so I’m balancing the “woe is me” sentiment with the “gold bars” mentality. The whole thing stinks PS - repeal the IRA

@AriPeskoe @JesseJenkins This is the problem with partisanship. Can you try to imagine how you would feel if the roles were reversed? A key difference is free market and conservative non-profits don’t like to take government money Is this the new game? Win a political trifecta and raid the treasury?
