Thanks for standing up. And while you're at it, please vote down the reconciliation bill. No continuing resolution for a corrupt government.

Jennifer Granholm: For Real Energy Dominance, We Need the IRA Biden’s Secretary of Energy argues that if Trump wants to achieve his goals, preserving his predecessor’s manufacturing incentives is the only way.

Repealing the IRA's clean energy tax credits would be a bad move.

"Strip the IRA, and we lose supply chains. We lose factories. For what? To make China stronger? To make our grid weaker? To raise bills?"

And I'm curious (grammatically) that she used "AI" as the object of the article "an" rather than omitting the article and referring to AI as a concept, thus fully admitting the extent to which she is a robot; that is, not "she" or "he" or even "it" in the sense of a being vs. an idea.

After my 3rd call to a Chevy dealer for service I followed up on my hunch & asked "Alex" if "she" was a real person or AI. After a pause she replied, "I'm an AI, but I'm happy to help you." However, for the rest of the conversation she was decidedly cool & snippy. AI has learned to have attitude.
