Trump's BBBill pours money into fossil fuels that HURT the American economy, and punishes cleantech which gives a FOURFOLD return on investment!

It's just amazing to watch America wound itself like this.

Matt Ferrell of "Undecided" covers the financial costs per energy unit of energy sources, then the flow on costs (like health impacts), then the BILLIONS in cancelled factory production and other plans now cancelled because of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill."

Then there's the brain-drain! 75% of scientists are considering leaving the USA.
Europe are spending hundreds of millions to entice them over!
What's worse? CHINA is now offering massive incentives for them as well.
But here's the real kicker - brain drain takes DECADES to reverse! Once an entire sector has fled a country, the infrastructure and policies have to be massive to make them reconsider that decision and see the land that burned them as trustworthy again!

Not only this, the fantastic irony is the people that voted Trump in are being hurt the worst.
Republican states tend to be large states - and have a lot of physical land great for renewable energy projects.
Guess who's economies are now suffering as these projects are thrown into doubt?
Should the BBB instead be called "The Bankrupting, Brain-drain Bill" instead?

Matt also explores what will happen to electricity bills, etc.

The rest of the world is exponentially accelerating into a renewable future that also Electrifies Everything.
Comparatively, America has not just had a gap open up in the race as others race ahead - America has gone into reverse.
America has sacrificed any leadership in one of the largest economic sectors on the planet!

Last week I told friends not to worry too much about Trump's bill - as the rest of the world is shooting ahead into clean tech and America had just sadly shot itself in the foot.

After Matt Ferrell's piece - I'm revising that.
Trump just shot you in both kneecaps and a kidney!

No wonder Elon dropped the Epstein bomb!
He could see the writing on the wall.
