    The IRA made European countries begrudgingly pass similar legislation so their green energy companies would stay and be globally competitive. We can be excited about the significance of the IRA and still acknowledge we could go a lot further. It remains that it was some of the strongest climate policy passed in the entire West.

    If Europe is so much more left wing, they should’ve had legislation and policies like it much longer ago. The US shouldn’t have needed to push them.
