Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This is absolutely fucking infuriating.... WE'RE PAYING to fuck our future and enrich his fuckass buddies...
And him, first and foremost him
The level if stupid is not even funny anymore.
Get ready for the price of electricity to jump
The only real hedge against that is to install rooftop solar
Some states moving to make that illegal, or making you pay the electric company for not being connected
That's atrocious.
Doesn't help people in apartments with electricity hitting $500/no in some seasons
"Just be a homeowner"
Frustrating to see the libertarian ideology of economic isolationism persist in an increasingly fascistic economy.
As though even home ownership spares you from artificially high home installation prices created by the Trump tarrifs
Really pissing me off since I had hoped to have a few more years before financing a solar installation.
Would love to but many states still make it incredibly hard/expensive.
Here we have negatif prices
Pure malice, cool.
Good idea - especially during an energy crises he’s causing.
/s.
We could have cheap climate-positive energy sources if it wasn't for these fucks and their greed...
~~Trump Administration~~ The American Taxpayer will pay...
total piece of shit. just an unlimited amount of disgusting bullshit from this creature.
Hahaha. The US is so fucking imbecile. Hahaha. OMG. I can't breathe..
Fuck Off you backwards assholes.
This screws over the north east with less energy. Trump/GOP likes to cancel their projects then point that them for mismanagement. North east has to import energy, and boats from TX/LA count as imports. With Jones act shipping rates.
The child rapist wants us to stop using renewables, everyone.
He wants that.
Go buy whatever you want now. It's a capitalist society, and we have the buying power. Solar and wind can displace the energy companies on a local level for low cost.
Seriously. You can do it for less than 3 grand.
It’s a race to Earth’s headstone…
I have an idea: why don't we all come up with the money to build a huge glass dome to put over the US so they fuck themselves and leave the rest of us alone? When their air becomes breathable again (say, in 100 years from now), we can remove it and let them be part of the planet again... if they are not a wasteland by then.
Make it make sense.
It makes perfect logical sense. The money comes from the tax payer and goes into the pockets of Trumps buddies.
