My Irony Quota for the Week: Shot

I was listening to Morning Edition on NPR this morning and heard the following:

Senator Bob Corker(R-TN): "This is nothing more than a tax: a tax on Southeast United States, a tax where-- basically it's a transference of wealth from Southeast America to other parts where wind and solar takes place."

Tennessee: Windless and sunless since the dawn of time.

(Yes, I know he meant the wind and solar energy industries, but even so, at best he's pointing out a recalcitrance to improve the state's infrastructure.)
