It is the height of idiocy from these GOP that gutting the IRA somehow improves the government balance of accounts. INVESTMENTS MAKE MONEY. It's almost as if the maga only have anger, and no business acumen. #Biz101 #TrumpFailedEcon #TrumpFailedBusiness101
How big the U.S. government's domestic electric utilities bill for offices, bases, parks etc...everything?
In other words, how much money do taxpayers save by bringing electricity costs down by a penny per kWh?
DoD several years ago spent about 4 B/year for all utilities (electricity, nat gas, steam). Saving energy saves money.
Sadly, I also have to point out that Republicans have pulled the plug on those as well as our government saving money by transitioning to EVs just for completeness and not in a partisan manner.
Note we anticipate a pretty significant rise in electricity prices economy wide not withstanding the impact of IRA due to data center / AI led demand growth, after nearly two decades of flat demand (yea #energyefficiency !) repealing IRA will exacerbate that.)
