In addition to giving tax breaks to consumers who buy or lease electric cars and trucks, the Inflation Reduction Act provides tax credits for automakers and suppliers that build battery plants in the United States. If the credits survive, they could offset about a quarter of the cost of the plant in Marshall, Ford executives said. The House version of the Republican bill would eliminate credits for plants that were built with materials or technology from China, Iran, North Korea or Russia. The

CNET/Getty Images The Federal Reserve once again held interest rates steady at Wednesday's meeting, but that doesn't mean your card's interest rate can't change. There are other things -- like economic uncertainty and the potential impact of tariffs -- that could impact your credit card's APR. The Federal Open Market Committee left interest rates at a target range of 4.25% to 4.5% (PDF) in response to continued uncertainty about the economy and "somewhat elevated inflation."

Senate GOP bill spares nuclear and geothermal energy while hammering wind and solar

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-09-10 14:21:35

To show off how easy it is for users to earn money by using his new chatbot platform, Pankaj Gupta offers to cash out $1 worth of Yupp credits, sending it to me over Venmo or PayPal.
