The legislation would also provide new incentives for domestic oil and gas drilling, nuclear power plant construction, carbon capture and storage, and renewable energy sources like wind and solar. Cheap debt issuance alone, even if backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Flexible Debt Capital.
