Americans suffering under the crushing weight of historic inflation should be happy to know they can reduce their energy costs by weatherizing their homes, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said Sunday on Fox News.
“If you are low income, you can get your home entirely weatherized through the expansion from the bipartisan infrastructure laws, a significant expansion — you don’t have to pay for anything,” Granholm said. [bold, links added]
“If you want heat pumps, insulation, new windows, that is covered,” she continued. “If you are moderate income, today you can get 30% off the price of solar panels. Those solar panels can be financed, so you don’t have to have the big outlay at the front … it’s a significant incentive.”
Even Americans who don’t qualify can see some perks next year, she added.
This is who Biden chose to head America’s energy policy, one of our largest and most productive sectors.
“If you don’t qualify for the weatherization program, you will be able to, starting next year, get rebates on the appliances and equipment that will help you reduce your monthly energy bill by up to 30%,” she added.
“That is all about reducing costs for people.”
Critics on social media ripped the Energy Secretary for being so out of touch.
Democrats are so out of touch with Americans. Most low-income and many middle class can’t own homes. Especially on the coasts. 30% off of solar panels means absolutely nothing. https://t.co/ixoonwqLIC

So…let me get this straight Biden administration.I’m a homeowner already struggling to pay my mortgage because your policies created #Bidenflation & your solution is to provide a 30% tax credit for solar panels or credits for an electric vehicle neither of which I can afford? https://t.co/MelhK6BMYj

“That is all about reducing costs for people”. So sardonic. Anyone capable of such lies is psychopathic.
Brandon deserves credit for appointing the most clueless and unqualified cabinet in US history.
Saw the interview yesterday on Fox Sunday. Ridiculous. Kind of similar to throwing a pizza to a drowning man…
I watched the Fox interview too. She sounded dismissive and callous, ignoring the obvious question. Who would spend money they don’t have in order to save money? If the Dem’s are all about saving people money, how does cancelling Keystone XL fit their narrative? It doesn’t. They’re offering band aids for the damage they’ve done.
I like you line “They’re offering band aids for the damage they’ve done.” A slight change to that to make it more obvious, “They are offering band aids after they cut us.”
They want to force Farmers and Ranchers off the land and return the land to Wilderness and Wildlands then there is the Buffalo Commons idea from a pair of eggheads from Rutgers to return the land to wild areas so the Buffalo can roam again unmolested so the Spoiled liberal celeberties can ride their Hi Breed Horses so they dont mix up with the plain Old Farm Horse How they must think were a a Monarchy and their the Rich and Privaged Blue Bloods
