Not only is the $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill bad for the country (see Americans’ Right to Use NatGas Stripped Away by Infrastructure Bill), the so-called $3.5 trillion budget “reconciliation” bill is even worse–in so many ways. The budget reconciliation bill takes direct aim at eliminating the use of fossil fuels for energy. One way the bill targets fossil fuels is with a new tax on methane emissions. Another way is to force the conversion of power producers away from natural gas (and coal) and to solar and wind. We’ve seen how well that’s worked out in California with massive blackouts and now a hurried effort to build new gas-fired plants to prevent more blackouts.
