Too bad the Republicans will be lockstep in opposing it because a democratic president is saying it. Despite the fact that long term it's the most fiscally responsible thing to do. Aside from the economic impact from saving lives, property, etc, there is also an insane economic impact from the solar industry. Big money and big paychecks for those doing the installs and that money is more than likely going to go right back into the economy.
It's not just "because a Democratic president is saying it" but also because fossil fuels magnates are the ones who set up the patronage machine that Republican politicians depend on. It's unfortunately not just a partisanship thing, which makes it much harder to get their positions to change.
Oh it's definitely mostly a get the dems thing and has been since the teaparty crowd. The smarter oil companies like shell are moving into solar and wind because they see the writing on the wall. They most definitely fought it for years but now they aren't fighting it as much. Even where I am Duke which is the power company here and still burned a lot of coal till recently is backing solar and and even partnering with businesses and apartment complexes to install ev chargers.
I don't know how old you are but you might remember during Obama the maggots became the party of no. Maggat:I'm hungry, Dem:Let's get lunch, Maggat:NO. They became and continue to be obstinate toddlers.
