☀️⚡️☀️⚡️☀️⚡️🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳 Look at the Y axis! LFG China, deploy deploy deploy! I wish this could’ve been 🇺🇸 but our leadership has been cowardly and shortsighted. The Biden admin denied our REAP grant for solar in ‘24 🤬, what a joke we’ve become. Elizabeth Warren Ed Markey Rep. Jim McGovern
They are going to keep attacking our grid until someone stops them. Our Dem leaders chose to invest less than 1.5% of the IRA in New England and this admin is illegally clawing it back. What’s the plan now? Ed Markey Elizabeth Warren Rep. Jim McGovern Where is our money?
China is accelerating solar production even as the United States is hobbling the industry. New England needs to throw off Federal shackles and start being bold, we have the resources to go it alone on energy. The status quo is untenable. Ed Markey Elizabeth Warren Rep. Jim McGovern
Biden and Dems bragged about shoveling BIL money into highways and bridges as fast as possible. Instead of doing the same for bikes and pedestrians, they built+funded very little. Now, even that is being cancelled. Ed Markey Elizabeth Warren Rep. Jim McGovern bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Terrible energy policy and lack of leadership/vision has plagued America since the 1980's. Both parties dragged their feet on innovation and knelt before the power of the fossil fuel industry. Not a single US President stepped up. Cowards. Ed Markey Elizabeth Warren Rep. Jim McGovern
For four years under Joe Biden, Democrats poured tax dollars from northern “blue” states into the Southern economy. Now, states like MA are facing recession while “red” states thrive. Elizabeth Warren Ed Markey Rep. Jim McGovern Great job Democrats!
Decades of corrupt leadership beholden to the gas/utility companies means we have a fragile, expensive grid in MA. Now, our economy is paying the price. Less than 1.5% of IRA funding was invested in New England, even though we voted it through. Ed Markey Elizabeth Warren Rep. Jim McGovern
I wonder if Barack Obama ever thinks about how much harder it is to teach climate science to high school students when these are two of his homes. My students bring it up every year, the hypocrisy is a huge roadblock for them.
Less than 1.5% of funding from the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill was reinvested in New England. Now, your constituents are hungry. We have done everything to support Dems, they screw us over in return. Shameful. Elizabeth Warren Ed Markey Rep. Jim McGovern
90% of IRA funding and almost 75% of Infrastructure spending went to Republican districts under the Biden administration. Not a single Republican voted yes on those bills. Now, those projects have signs like this one. Democrats are chumps. Elizabeth Warren Ed Markey Rep. Jim McGovern
Rural New England relies on snow cover and ice to power our winter economy. Skiing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, timber harvesting and hunting are all at risk of collapse. Biden+Dems shut us out of IRA funding and it’s getting bleak. Frustrating. Elizabeth Warren Ed Markey Rep. Jim McGovern
