Congress Declines Tax Credit Extension Sought by Tesla

[dano0726]

All 538 Congressmen/women had a chance to really grow the EV industry by extending the federal tax credit -- is anyone really surprised the resolution/extension failed (based on Congress's recent track record)?

Fuk Rad is still pouring into the Pacific Ocean, not good 2 say the least. Had multiple very strong impressions that my father was going to get very ill & die if we didn't move. We moved, he got sick, I guided his healthcare toward Naturopathic & Homeopathic Cancer Treatment after traditional western allopathic medicine (Oncologist, etc...) gave him 90 days to live (stage 4 lung cancer). Shared data & statistics & fact based statistical analysis of various outcomes, opened his eyes so he could make a decision based on choices that he controlled. Long story short - He chose Naturopathic, Homeopathic, & a Holistic approach to fight the cancer. He lived 2.5 years B4 he passed. The Natural Protocols are very powerful & extremely effective when combined with a program & strategy to detoxify the body - (MUST choose 5 or 6 from 100's of choices & do them daily as they work synergistically). His life span was in the top 1% because the Natural Protocols feed the bodies immune system, changes PH levels to 7.5^, cancers food source is processed sugars in the body, to be fully successful U MUST change your diet / food regimens. He wasn't willing to make all the changes needed to fully eradicate the cancer. He did not detoxify his body & nor did he change his eating habits much at all. He died from cirrhosis of the liver 2.5 years after the Stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis. He could have overcome his health issues if he was willing to make the necessary changes in his life that require a disciplined commitment to eat to live, etc... Two excellent resources are Cancer Tutor dot com (Inexpensive Treatment Protocols link) with forums to share with one another... & The Truth About Cancer dot com. He had a very good quality of life during his last 2.5 years of life. U can lead a horse to water, but U can't make him drink.

That is awesome, and extremely rare in the current, so called, republican party. I think our best hope for subsidies, are from the other party... but actually, I would be happier if they would get rid of the oil, gas and coal subsidies.

I believe congress is limited to what the Senate and President will accept. Which is explicitly shown by Mitch McConnall, or as he calls himself, the Grim Reaper, holding back 400 passed congress bills, and not allowing them to be voted on by the senate.

Appreciate the clarification on this matter. I was on a travel trailer website forum recently and the Cybertruck was brought up so I followed the conversation and it seems quite a few people are opposed to the EV Tax Credits and it was also brought up about GPS to track mileage in order to pay highway tax since EV’s are not paying at the pump.

Yeah i have seen similar conversation trends on other sites too. I know people tend to be biased to whatever side they are standing on, but how can they be so blind to the vast difference in subsidies. I admit i am biased to EVs, but i at least remain open to all available info.

EV sales get a total tax subsidy of about 1.6 billion depending on how many cars are sold in the window after 200k.

Oil companies subsidies are estimated to be about 20 billion ANNUALLY!
I know trying to change this quickly would be disastrous, but how about just remove the cap from EV sales and pull the EV subsidies from the Oil subsidies. This way there is no increase to the budget and the system will balance its self out in time.

Sorry for the rant. Hypocrisy is one of my triggers, especially when it comes to EVs.
