are those those are chemicals that were used in the production of teflon that have also been used in firefighting foam water repellent clothing and many other items and i think this is another reason why elon probably gets upset he's like okay so you're spending NUMBER_TOKEN billion dollars to clean up something that if you just tested it first maybe you would have never allowed it to be sprayed all over the country now there's a provision in this bill that actually sounds like it could be helpful for advancing clean energy even though of course the government had to create a new department it's called the office of clean energy demonstrations so there's this problem that many people call the valley of death when companies try to solve environmental problems like you know decarbonizing the atmosphere yeah there are grants available to start the research like from darpa and if you get a project to the stage where you can prove it's ready for commercial scale deployment there are then loan programs like the department of energy's loan program office but what if you come up with the technology that works but you can't prove yet that it will be commercially successful like let's say that you invent a machine that can take carbon out of the air but you're not sure who will pay for it and how much they'll pay to use it that's where this new NUMBER_TOKEN billion dollar office of clean energy demonstrations steps in to fund startups to get this through the valley of death so how did this get passed you ask well unfortunately most of the funding will go for hydrogen-based solutions NUMBER_TOKEN billion in fact with only NUMBER_TOKEN million for energy storage NUMBER_TOKEN billion for carbon capture and NUMBER_TOKEN billion for nuclear and NUMBER_TOKEN billion for the electrical grid okay so we've talked about this whole bill um i've been very patient i've been waiting for you to tell me about the eevee tax credits so please tell me the evie tax credits that are in the bill not in this bill there's another bill called the build back better remember that bill that no one can say because it's a tongue twister oh okay that's a companion bill and that is still working its way through congress basically a bunch of congress people said hey we're not paying for this until we know how much it's really going to cost so they asked the cbo the congressional budget office to do a report we're waiting for that report it should come out i think later this week or next week and so there'll be no vote on this until that report comes out but that contains the uh carbon capture tax credits and the clean energy deployment investments and the ev tax incentives okay so should we be talking about like what's in that bill for the ev tax incentives we could i mean there's some language that's in there now but at the last second lots of language gets changed as there's horse trading going on so i would hate to tell you all about what's in it and then have to walk it back okay so when it finally comes out hopefully passes and we get ev tax incentives and hopefully it doesn't totally suck this is why you got to call your representatives because you got to hold their feet to the fire hey if you like all the research we're doing here on the show please hit the like button it really helps us out all right so there's proof of the wrapping program at giga shanghai that we reported on a
