The ‘Transfer Technology to China’ Bill

“Almost all of the technologies China manufactures now were technologies we invented in the U.S., What is likely to occur if this [U. S. House Reconciliation Bill] passes is all of our best technology will again go to Asia or other countries to get scaled up. This could be called the ‘transfer technology to China’ bill.” ~ Jigar Shar, former Director of the Energy Department’s Loan Programs Office during the Biden administration.

“If this bill [President Trump's so-called 'One Big Beautiful Bill'] becomes law, America will effectively surrender the AI race to China, and communities nationwide will face blackouts,” said Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association,

The Washington Post says that "the bill [as passed by the House] would remove $522 billion that is scheduled to be injected into local economies across the country.

The Washington Post noted on October 28, 2024, before the National election, that "Not a single Republican lawmaker voted for the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022... But red districts have emerged as the climate law’s biggest winners... Of the top 10 districts that have attracted the most clean energy investments, nine are led by Republican lawmakers."
