And so it feels very powerful because I wrote a lot of those words. That he wouldn\u2019t be invoking these frames if it wasn\u2019t for the work of movements and what we pushed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lori Lodes, executive director of Climate Power, opined that the $369 billion given toward green energy and other progressive environmental goals included in the Inflation Reduction Act was because of AOC\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only reason this is happening,\u201d she said of the spending, \u201cis directly because of AOC and young people rising up and speaking out and demanding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That money will be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/09\/02\/climate\/john-podesta-climate-biden.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&amp;referringSource=articleShare\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">steered<\/a> to certain companies and organizations by Democrat John Podesta, a fierce partisan. In other words, Podesta \u2014 not the free market \u2014 will be picking winners and losers.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Obama administration, when similar efforts were tried, Americans wound up with hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-proves-he-learned-nothing-from-obamas-green-failure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">heading<\/a> toward disasters like Solyndra.<\/p>\n<p>The bill also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/hey-neat-spend-1000-on-green-energy-and-the-feds-will-give-you-a-300-tax-credit-to-reduce-inflation-thanks-biden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">offers tax credits for things<\/a> like spending thousands of dollars on new windows or buying government-approved electric vehicles \u2014 you just have to spend tens of thousands of dollars to take advantage of those offerings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem isn\u2019t the size of the credit or even EVs themselves. The real problem is politicians attempting to force a transition to energy sources they prefer, having no inhibitions about the arrogance of such a central planning scheme, the restrictions it imposes on freedom, or the trade-offs, limitations, and collateral damage those policies cause at Americans\u2019 expense,\u201d\u00a0the Heritage Foundation\u2019s Katie Tubb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/2022\/08\/03\/washington-knows-best-what-car-you-should-drive-electric-vehicles-seriously\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, America can see a glimpse of what that sort of \u201ccentral planning scheme\u201d looks like by taking a peek into California.<\/p>\n<p>California recently banned the sale of new gasoline cars by 2035. Just days later, California <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/california-asks-residents-to-avoid-charging-electric-vehicles-due-to-blackout-risk-days-after-unveiling-new-gas-car-ban\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">requested<\/a> that residents refrain from charging their electric vehicles during certain times due to a heatwave and strain on the electrical grid.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, California leaders <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/news\/newsom-urges-californians-to-turn-up-thermostats-as-heat-wave-tests-energy-grid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">urged<\/a> residents to keep their home air-conditioning units set to 78 degrees or higher to avoid blackouts during specific times. The Golden State wants everybody to switch to electric cars, yet it can\u2019t explain how its grid will hold up once everybody does as it struggles under the current reality.<\/p>\n<p>Yet for some reason, Biden\u2019s Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm wants California to be the model when it comes to electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCalifornia has gotten more used to electric vehicles and we have to bring down the price of electric vehicles so that everybody can access them,\u201d she recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LfCazCFKb5w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> while touting the aforementioned tax credits \u2014 which don\u2019t even begin until 2024.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also evidence that Biden\u2019s Inflation Reduction Act legislation will jack up the cost of fuel as it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/budget-and-spending\/commentary\/7-ways-inflation-reduction-act-would-wallop-your-wallet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increases<\/a> costs in the oil industry.<\/p>\n<p>So, if AOC wants to take credit for a bill that doesn\u2019t exactly help Americans buy electric vehicles, will more likely than not result in crony capitalism, and works to create an electric grid that buckles under heat like California\u2019s \u2014 let her have it.<\/p>\n<p>If the Democratic Party wants to say it was the party\u2019s idea, that works too.<\/p>\n<p>At least Americans will know who to blame for the pending economic and energy disaster signed into law by Biden.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As green energy is failing around the world, Rep.
