Let's talk about the fact that Democrats running for President are targeting 100% clean energy and EVs in the coming decades.
Meanwhile, Democrats in Congress have given away the bedrock policies we had on the books to get us there.
Hard to describe how disappointed I am.

"Instead of negotiating for a livable climate, House leadership traded away their leverage and failed to secure any incentives for solar, energy storage and electric vehicles. It’s shameful." - @foe_us

@foe_us And let's talk about the fact that Congress hasn't touched fossil fuel subsidies. We're still giving them $20 billion a year. Every year. They never expire!
Our federal energy policy is completely backwards.

@foe_us What did we lose when @HouseDemocrats gave up the ITC?
If Congress had extended the solar tax credit, it would dramatically reduce carbon emissions by 2030 —equivalent to taking 77 million cars off the road, or shutting 90 coal plants.

@foe_us @HouseDemocrats What did we lose when @HouseDemocrats gave up on the EV tax credit?
Extending the EV tax credits through 2025 would have nearly doubled the number of electric cars on the road and help the nascent industry drive down costs while increasing adoption.

@foe_us @HouseDemocrats And as usual, Congress has ignored the public.
Four out of five Americans support these tax credits for electric vehicles and solar — even in red and purple states like Iowa, Texas and Ohio.

@foe_us @HouseDemocrats Keeping these tax policies in place was the floor for climate action, not the ceiling. It would not be enough to keep pace with what’s necessary. But it would have helped us avoid falling further behind.
But Congress, it appears, couldn't even pass basic climate policy.
