      I think the real reason Biden's IRA bill passed is so that the dem pol could deflect any climate change questions for a long time. About a decade? They could lie and say because they did something - it's all taken care of and not to worry.

      Also what happens if (when?) the GOP justices say "We are ruling that ~90% of the IRA is unconstitutional. Fuck you."

          I'm still surprised they didn't name it something else. Like what was wrong calling it the IR bill? Or using a synonym for Act?
