Anyone else feeling like $75mill is a really low number for something like infrastructure investment?

More handouts for rich people? Sure does sound like it, when there's no incentive to lower power costs once those facilities are more efficient. So rich people get money to improve their capital investments while poor people are left to starve. Thanks Dark Brandon!
How dare power companies get paid to transition away from fossil fuels without even demanding they reduce costs! If we can't keep energy dirt cheap by burning fossil fuels, we don't deserve to survive as a species!
We can just do both? Look at Norway's hydropower strategy: the government owns and operates most of it, and they tax private hydropower. That's significantly better than handouts. There are valid critiques of what the Dems are doing, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't take the small victories we can (like this) nor does it mean republicans aren't worse (they'll just do even worse handouts to the rich).
I was wondering how this could turned into "they're worse than Republicans". Thanks for answering that.
