Once again showing how completely out of touch with reality they are, the Biden Administration’s Energy Secretary has suggested that Americans facing hardship as the cost of living spirals should buy solar panels.
Appearing on Fox News, Jennifer Granholm touted so called green initiatives under the Orwellian titled ‘Inflation Reduction Act’.
“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,” she claimed, adding, “”If you want heat pumps, insulation, new windows, that is covered.”
She then advised lower middle class Americans to take out credit to get solar panels.
“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,” Granholm stated.
She continued, “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%. That is all about reducing costs for people.”
The comments come after months of Granholm and other minions touting electric cars, which cost over 60 grand.
The backlash was swift:
GOP just needs to run ad after ad of Granholm telling the poors to buy solar panels and electric cars to save money. https://t.co/oAdXKutrBi

They don't know how they sound, because everything they read and everyone they know just echo their ideology back at them – except turned up in volume, higher in pitch, and with applause. https://t.co/kniDhNR4WB

If you’re poor, Tim Ryan will give you 30 percent off the price of solar panels. They won’t keep you warm this winter but they are made in China, so there’s that. https://t.co/UatdBWSu9p

An underrated aspect of the Biden admin unpopularity is just how terribly his cabinet has performed at messaging – Becerra, Mayorkas, Granholm, Buttigieg, Garland, Yellen all drags. When your best performer is Tony Blinken you have a problem. https://t.co/i0Du46TXPQ

Perfect of example about how Democrats don’t care about rising costs, only their Green New Deal.
Food is rising at the fastest pace since 1979 and Biden’s response is to push you to buy solar panels. https://t.co/TqSJKVKMu4

A friend of mine in another country is setting up a container “home” using 3 containers (living in 2, storage in the other). He just got an estimate from someone who sets up houses with solar power systems & was told it would cost him about USD$18,600 to set it up with all the gear so it’s ready to use. That was just one estimate so there could be others higher & lower. If you compared the cost to them in that country to the US though it would be more like USD$20,000 due to their cost of living & inflation, etc.
I’m pretty sure most “poor people” have that in loose change just scattered around their homes that they can use to set up solar power so they should be good…
