Jennifer Granholm Offers You 30% Off Solar Panels

CLAY: Democrats having no understanding of basic business or economics. How many times have you heard Mayor Pete come out and say, “Well, if you’re troubled by high gas prices, you should just go buy an electric vehicle. That would solve issue,” and a lot of the issues have made that argument. Obviously, the average electric vehicle costs over $60,000 a year.

So, if you are concerned about the price of gas, you’re probably not sitting on an extra 10 or 20K to put forward or certainly 60K to buy it without having to take out a loan at all. But Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, well, she wants everybody out there to understand that one way to save money? I believe it’s solar panels? Is that what she’s in favor of now? Let’s just listen to this.

BUCK: The Biden administration just wants all the working people to know that, yeah, you can’t afford gas — and, sure, your grocery bill has doubled — but do you realize you can get 30% off solar panels right now? What a deal.

CLAY: Have you run the math on some of this, quote-unquote, “clean energy”? It’s virtually impossible to pay for solar panels by the energy that the solar panels create on anyone’s private residence. I understand some people are super pumped about this and they’re fired up about the future opportunities here. But if you actually do the dollar cost analysis here — what you spend versus what you save — it takes, like, a generation of living in a house for you to even get close to breaking even.

This is mostly a huge boondoggle for companies out there. Now, maybe it’s gonna change and the solar panels are gonna get more efficient. But, if you’re living where you’re worried about paycheck-to-paycheck existence, this is not something that makes your life easier remotely, and it is just so tone-deaf. The Marie Antoinette analogy, as we’ve talked about, historically — probably she didn’t say it, but — it feels like she might have said it based on what the economic situations were like. This is Marie Antoinette writ large over and over and over again from the Biden administration.

BUCK: Yes. Sometimes the urban legend is too good, as we’ve discussed. The “let them eat cake” phrase, we’re gonna use it forever even though it’s apocryphal, and lemmings. You know, people were mask lemmings during covid. And even though, you know, the Society of Lemming Watchers are saying, “The mountain vole known as the lemming is not, in fact, suicidal.” Whatever, you know, it’s just too good of a story for us to let go of it.

By the way, solar panels, you know who they are really good for, as I understand it? Solar panel salespeople. Apparently, a job you can do really well with. I’m just throwing that out there. So, it’s not going to help the environment, it’s not gonna help people who can’t pay their bills, but if you want to make some cash, solar panel sales, pretty good gig.

CLAY: Yeah, no doubt. The business itself of selling solar panels may make a lot more sense than the amount of energy that is being saved by the solar panels. And again, it’s just indicative of this failure to understand basic business in the Biden administration.
