Not that it will go anywhere, of course,
Yeah what’s the play here? Drum up “we want to do cool things” support for the midterms? Capitalize on rising oil prices and hope Republicans either flip or look really bad?

…not that republican constituents care
Republicans made a religion out of fossil fuels vs clean energy, because the Russian oiligarchs that own them told them to. This is what clean energy advocates need to defeat. Hopefully the manufactured oil crisis from Operation Epstein Fury has diminished the faith in that dumbass oil-worship system somewhat.
The one good thing is that it’s economically getting harder and harder to ignore renewables and stay all-in on fossil fuels. If connecting solar+battery to the grid costs half as much as coal or gas, nobody is going to install coal or gas capacity because even if the government gave them a 100% subsidy for construction, they’d need to fuel it forever. No fuel = no electricity. Meanwhile, the sun is free, forever.
