tons of smart people are looking at the bill and the strong transmission provisions and weighing whether the many fossil fuel giveways are worth it, or whether some of the bad stuff can be taken out. Not sure why this all spurs so much invective & assholery.

Most Democrats want to vote for something that has broadly the structure of BAJAA or EPRA but don’t want to get on the wrong side of the groups, so the biggest impediment is this specter of some hypothetical bill they will endorse which creates a pretext to defer the choice.
