The Big Beautiful Bill is looking pretty ugly. From the Courier Journal:

In Kentucky, more than 11,000 jobs and billions of dollars in economic development hang in the balance as Congress considers axing clean energy tax credits approved in the Biden-era Inflation Reduction Act, according to an analysis from Rhodium Group and MIT — threatening a key pillar of what’s widely considered the most comprehensive climate legislation in U.S. history. 

Dozens of projects are still pending or under construction around the state, from battery manufacturing to solar facilities and more, the analysis found. If Congress decides to slash tax incentives for these industries, the companies behind the incomplete projects could scale back plans for investment.

Modifying or repealing the tax credits “is a huge risk,” said Hannah Hess, an associate director at Rhodium Group who worked on the analysis — and is piling on uncertainty for companies already facing tariffs and other macroeconomic headwinds. 

There go more jobs out the door, because people in one of the poorest states in the country believe their GOP rep in Congress actually cares whether they live or die. Answer: He doesn’t (and in this state, all the reps in Congress are he).

And in general, the current Congress doesn’t even represent America. Take a look at this chart:

Until we start electing representatives who actually represent us, we’re going to continue to be screwed. And we will deserve it.
