I can't vouch for these numbers--but I strongly suspect the over-arching point is valid.

The irony is that many, if not most of the people who profess to oppose "socialism"--which is really state assistance programs for the needy--are poor and needy themselves. This has always been the idiocy of poor rural people voting for Republicans. Instead, they think that god will help them. Uh, no.

I can vouch for them. They are complete and utter BS that has no basis in reality...

Does anyone want to guess by far the largest corporate subsidy out there right now?

If you guessed the Inflation Reduction Act, you get 50 VN bucks.....

Since most of that money hasn't been spent yet, Trump is going to unravel that crap quickly once he's inaugurated. He should also reallocate the IRS funding boondoggle to ICE and get cracking on the deportations.

Corporations have been spending big and racking up the incentives big time with IRA. Some of it is actual investments, a big chunk of it is gaming the poorly worded legialation....

If you think Trump is actually going to fund mass deportations, you are going to be disappointed. His ag and construction base aint gonna allow that...

I just hope more of it going into Green Hydrogen production goes for purchasing catalyst from my Company.

My better half is in this space as broker for companies selling solar incentives/credits to companies that can actually use them.

I do wonder if the investors are just going to oversaturate the low hanging fruit (solar, wind) and not really drive to that next level of energy...

There was report just the other day that the huge lion's share of the $1.8 trillion has not been spent yet (that's government efficiency in action). The Biden administration is now in a panic to try to spend as much of it as they can in anticipation of Trump gutting the funding in January 2025.

I don't think there is any "wonder" about it.

Is that platinum for electrolysis? And hopefully that is really going to take off. Hydrogen fueled vehicles I believe are the end game.

Platinum for electrolysis is in the hydrolyzer that splits water into H2 and O2. When the H2 comes off it has anywhere up to 2% O2 depending on the design of the electrolyzer. To meet most specs for fuel cells or for vehicle fueling, that stream has to go through a catalytic converter to knock out the O2, and that’s where we come in. In principle either a platinum or palladium catalyst can do that and we offer both types. We are getting design requests from all over the world. Have had a few nice sales in that sector and expect the demand to ramp up. My son attended a H2 conference in Rotterdam a month ago and another one last week in Houston. We do a nice, basic reactor design with heat and material balance, bed sizing and pressure drop, for free with our own software. It’s a definite door opener.

I guess that's the disconnect. When IRA was passed in 2022, it was marketed as having 700B of revenue raisers (taxes) and 400B of expenses (incentives for investments and IRS).

The 400B of expenses has already been bumped up to 1.2T and it's probably going to hit 2T.

They are struggling to hit IRS spending targets..

tell your better half to build solar panels on existing parking lots (cars parked underneath, like carports... even put some of those charging stations right there).... rather than in agricultural fields... if you don't mind.

To the extent that solar and wind are powering electrolyzers to make green hydrogen that uses our Deoxo design and catalyst, I can’t complain.

She don't care where they build them. She just cares that after due diligence, legal, and imsurance she can make a penny per dollar of incentives sold..
