The Biden Administration has invested heavily in clean energy, including the passage of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.

Trump makes fun of windmills, doesn’t understand battery storage, wants to burn fossil fuels, and has promised to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act if elected, the very legislation that’s actually helped both the climate and the economy.

@TonyStark We installed solar panels a year after we moved to our new house (November 2019). Last year, we installed a heat pump (instead of replacing the leaking oil tank and the compressor that needed to be replaced).

We paid our first electric bill in almost a year last week 🙂🙌

Now to finish paying off the solar panels...

@CharJTF Congrats! That’s really neat! There’s so much out there we can take advantage of as we are able to make changes at home and advocate for them on the larger level.

@TonyStark @CharJTF Not to mention it makes individual homes more resilient in situations where the power grid is under strain.

@WhiteCatTamer Yep. We're trying to save enough to buy a backup battery to keep us going during power outages.
