Posting this here to avoid triggering flashpoints, but it's too important to my REFR investment for me to ignore.

From Reuters, yesterday:

Exclusive: Trump's transition team aims to kill Biden EV tax credit






... Tesla has historically been the biggest beneficiary of consumer EV subsidies passed by Biden and previous administrations. It now may stand to gain from killing the incentive because that could hurt rising EV competitors more than Tesla.

Musk himself pointed out as much in a July earnings call, saying losing the subsidy under Trump would "probably benefit Tesla" in the long term.


Story picked up by many other outlets, including Fox Business and CNN.

My worries over the Heritage Foundation's influence on REFR's fate via the Inflation Reduction and Dynamic Glass Acts continue to escalate. Why?

Not only this from NBC: "... transition team turns to Project 2025 after disavowing it " But the new Administration's nominees with Project 2025 connections include: Cabinet positions: FCC chair nominee Brendan Carr Border Czar nominee Tom Homan Canadian ambassador nominee Pete Hoekstra CIA director nominee John Ratcliffe And this Executive Branch position nominee, who is my greatest concern:

There are more, but I cling to a tiny hope that not all will be confirmed.

My point, however, isn’t political. It's about our shared investment, in which my belief is shaken.
Not because of SPD, but because of the above combined with rapidly deteriorating conditions in the Middle East and escalating conditions on the Ukraine/Russia/European fronts.

Meanwhile, the corporate (and possible future governmental) policies in play with RFI seem aligned against my own best interests.

Much to consider as the year winds down,, and so sorry if I have offended anyone.
