G.O.P. Bill Adds Surprise Tax That Could Cripple Wind and Solar Power

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/climate/gop-bill-adds-surprise-tax-that-could-cripple-wind-and-solar-power.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Sk8.f83Z.vOxdEAoaEO0t

Wind and solar companies were already bracing for Congress to end federal subsidies. But the Senate bill goes even further and penalizes those industries.

If you want this to change, it means calling your rep and senators — especially if they're Republicans.

Why just be evil, when you can be evil AND stupid?

What fresh hell is this?

You have been blocked from The New York Times because we suspect that you're a robot.

Didn't even give me a CAPTCHA or anything, and I'm the only one who uses this IP address.

Maybe they've been spying on me and are punishing me for pointing out their copaganda, apartheid/genocide apologia, and other disinformation? 🙄

Have you considered that maybe you are a robot?

I did, but all the tests came back negative for robotics 😉

Are you using a VPN? Change the server, it usually helps.

It's not the NYT blocking you directly. They use a third party tool for detecting bots. It's possible your IP address isn't just used by you, but it's also possible your device has a set of fingerprints that is setting off detections. Without knowing your IP address I can't tell you more.

I've been getting things like this myself more and more these days, from around the internet. Not a lot, just more.
