DOE awarded steelmaker Cleveland Cliffs up to $500m to replace a coal blast furnace with a unit that burns h2/natural gas. Now the company is renegotiating to use the money for a new blast furnace. Is DOE's grant "review" going to redirect climate money to fossil fuels? heatmap.news/politics/doe...

IIRC quite a few top NORAID donors were from banking or finance backgrounds and while it shouldn't be overstated their lobbying the IRA leadership played a roll in the start of the peace process so I guess you could say Sorry, saw "IRA" and got excited

People who try to discredit Eurovision by pointing out that Adolf Hitler won Eurovision in 1938 are just showing their ignorance of the contest. Winning Eurovision is NOT meant to be an endorsement of the winning song

It’s been almost six years since we closed 14th St. to most traffic, but most of the roadbed goes unused because the city does not have the capacity to physically redesign it. No wider sidewalks, no new street trees, no new bike lane, no boarding islands. Just paint and boulders. The city that can’t

TLDR There’s only so much natural gas in the US, and if more is exported domestic prices will rise. The IRA was going to trigger some gas to electricity supply & demand fuel switching, which would’ve taken pressure off gas prices, but the Republicans seem intent on getting it.

Natural gas prices are going up, so are electricity prices. This will likely continue to happen. LNG is a big reason why. And the IRA could help if it's not gutted and left for dead. heatmap.news/energy/elect...

Here is a rundown of exactly how the GOP proposal would change every clean energy tax credit. While it looks like a bunch of nips and tucks, it's probably more akin to a full repeal. More analysis from us to come. heatmap.news/politics/way...

This is what many people in the real estate industry are saying too, as even in a recession lower rates could make it easier to sell struggling investments and easier to make new investments work.
