The federal tax credits for electric vehicles and home solar installations are slowly cruising toward extinction—and not a minute too soon. Denver7’s consumer protection squad thinks Coloradans should panic about missing out on the last crumbs of Uncle Sam’s green bribery. Meanwhile, I’m over here breaking out the popcorn.
The Bullet Point Brief
- EV and solar subsidies are expiring—cue the violin for green grifters.
- If you want to exploit taxpayer-funded virtue signaling, better move fast.
- Only certain models and income levels even qualify because fairness!
- Colorado has state-level kickbacks too—because one scam deserves another.
- No mention of supply chains built on slave labor or lithium mines bulldozing ecosystems… but sure, let’s subsidize your driveway status symbol.
My Bottom Line
Well well well… looks like the gravy train’s pulling into its final station. The federal government’s massive handouts to EV owners and backyard solar bandits are winding down. In other words, electric vehicles must now compete in a free and fair market. And I can’t wait to watch that little science project crash into reality. You can practically hear the Prius owners shriek in fear as their eco-subsidy gets yanked faster than Fauci at a Rand Paul hearing.
These tax credits were never about saving the planet—they were about saving failing industries propped up by ideology instead of innovation. Your average working-class family in Greeley helped bankroll some Boulder tech bro’s $80K driveway decoration, all while trying to afford fuel for their two-decade-old truck. That ain’t justice—that’s legalized robbery dressed up in green paint.
If electric vehicles and solar panels are truly superior, they shouldn’t need welfare checks from Uncle Sam to survive. I believe in capitalism—a brutal but honest test of what works and what doesn’t. So let it rip! Let’s see how these green toys sell when they’re priced like the rest of us live: without a government sugar daddy wiping our asses.
Stop picking winners and losers with our money. Let the market work. And if you still want an EV? Fine—just don’t ask me (or any other taxpayer) to help pay for your virtue badge on wheels.
