In 2021, the #UnitedStates accounted for 10% of global EV assembly & 7% of battery production, acc/to the International #Energy Agency. That same year, #China sold more #EVs than the rest of the world combined — & produced ¾ of all lithium-ion batteries.

The #Biden admin & congressional leaders understood there was a balancing act — boosting #EV production w/o aiding China.

So the #law included provisions to make sure more of the #SupplyChain is produced in the #US…

#JDVance’s false claim that ‘#GreenEnergy scam’ ships jobs to China

…one of Vance’s consistent claims is that VP #KamalaHarris shipped jobs to China by casting the tiebreaking vote in 2022 in the Senate for the #InflationReductionAct, a bill that included $370B in #climate & #energy funding to combat #ClimateChange.

…Vance’s claims make little sense. The #IRA was designed to foster #green #manufacturing #jobs IN the #UnitedStates.

#Trump claimed that the US wouldn’t have experienced “any #inflation” had it not been for “bad #energy problems” during the #Biden admin.

False.

He appeared to be referencing the spike in gas prices that occurred after #Russia invaded #Ukraine in Feb 2022. That contributed to inflation at the time, but it was trending higher before then as a result of pent-up #demand from the #pandemic & #labor shortages.

Data centers now consume 21% of all the electricity in Ireland, more than all the homes in its cities and towns combined. Cloud providers still want more.

This drive for ever-increasing computation serves no one but the bottom lines of major tech companies. It must be stopped.

Washington Is Giving #Tax Breaks to #Data Centers That Threaten the State’s Green #Energy Push
==

In 2019, #Washington adopted legislation requiring electric utilities to go carbon-neutral in a decade.

Yet lawmakers continued to promote the growth of energy-guzzling data centers with generous tax incentives.

I've seen more #energy today here in support of Kamala #Harris than I've seen in weeks in support for Biden. That doesn't mean support hasn't been there. I think, and this is just my opinion, that ppl have been becoming discouraged in spite of all our efforts & support for each other to stave off the discouragement.

Indecision is a breeding ground for despair.

No matter our individual feelings for Biden & his candidacy, we needed this to happen.

The #enthusiasm is contagious

"Vance’s pivot on #climate and #energy issues has been swift. In 2020, he was unequivocal in acknowledging global warming.

Now, the former venture capitalist’s approach is drawing fresh scrutiny from critics who say Vance would be a relentless booster of oil and gas at the expense of emission-free energy if he’s elected vice president."

"Texas Republicans have bragged about the state’s low taxes, low regulations and pro-business environment since 1999, when they took control of every elected statewide office. They promised a deregulated electricity grid would produce inexpensive and reliable power, and it did for a while.

However, decades of underinvestment and a refusal to prepare for a harsher climate have left Texans vulnerable."

Crypto Mining Is Creating an Environmental Crisis for Black Texas Communities

Energy companies plan to build new fossil fuel plants in communities of color to meet the demands of crypto mining.

"Bitcoin is more than just a shiny new way to lose money. It’s also fueling Texas’ energy struggles as the state prepares for another year of record-breaking heat. And Black communities are caught in the crosswires of climate change, those booming data centers, and the power plants needed to meet both demands. "

#RussianOfficials say #Putin’s visit will focus on #economic, #education and #energy issues. Trade between the two countries stood at just $3.5bn in 2022 – a tiny fraction of #Vietnam’s $175bn trade with #China and $123bn with the #UnitedStates. But observers say that in private, #Ukraine and #DefenceCooperation are likely to be on the table.
