In reply to the discussion: Democrats, Sinema reach deal on new taxes in Inflation Reduction Act [View all]lapucelle
(18,400 posts)54. Thanks, but I know what's in the bill.
Why does the phrase "energy security" seem like an open door for abuse? The bill is specific and detailed as to exactly what it is funding.
[The Inflation Reduction Act] increases American energy security through policies to support energy reliability and cleaner production coupled with historic investments in American clean energy manufacturing to lessen our reliance on China, ensuring that the transition to a clean economy creates millions of American manufacturing jobs, and is powered by American-made clean technologies.
snip===========================================================
[The Inflation Reduction Act] focuses investments into disadvantaged communities to ensure that communities that are too-often left behind will share in the benefits of the transition to a clean economy.
snip===========================================================
[The Inflation Reduction Act] supports resilient rural communities by investing in farmers and forestland owners to be part of growing climate solutions, and by ensuring rural and communities are able to better adapt to a rapidly changing climate.
snip============================================================
This bill will support energy reliability and cleaner energy production coupled with historic investments in American clean energy manufacturing. It includes over $60 billion to on-shore clean energy manufacturing in the U.S. across the full supply chain of clean energy and transportation technologies. These manufacturing incentives will help alleviate inflation and reduce the risk of future price shocks by bringing down the cost of clean energy and clean vehicles and relieving supply chain bottlenecks.
snip============================================================
Building on regular engagement with EJ leaders from across the country, this package includes over $60 billion in environmental justice priorities to drive investments into disadvantaged communities.
snip===========================================================
This bill will make historic investments to ensure that rural communities are at the forefront of climate solutions. The investments affirm the central role of agricultural producers and forest landowners in our climate solutions by investing in climate-smart agriculture, forest restoration and land conservation. It also makes significant investments in clean energy development in rural communities.

Perhaps the possibility of negotiations on carried interest was baked in from the start.
