Obamas Chinese windmill barons & green bandits

Obama's green subsidies attract do-gooder bandits

President Obama's green energy push is rapidly proving to be a crooked racket. It works like this: Revolving-door political hires rev up subsidy programs that enrich their former employers. Then they cash out themselves, pocketing taxpayer loot while turning out energy products that range from inefficient technologies to total failures. Faster than the turbine on a subsidized wind mill, the "clean-tech" revolving door spins out green bandits who get rich off the subsidies they helped craft.

Cathy Zoi, an Al Gore acolyte, has left her job as assistant secretary for energy efficiency and renewable energy to go to work for a new fund that invests in green energy. It was started by Democratic donor George Soros.

Her former "special assistant," Peter Roehrig, joined DOE's renewable energy office from the lobbying firm ISG. Roehrig's bosses at the firm then launched a company, US-REG, seemingly in effort to pocket taxpayer dollars by acting as cutouts for Chinese windmill barons trying to get their hands on stimulus money.

Good democrats, all ....

Why am I not surprised. Color me cynical!

It is amazing how this party, the party of JFK, has devolved into a slobbering rabble of socialists, anarchists, communists and radicals with fascist tendencies. They have infiltrated most forms of mass-communications, government, venues of information dissemination, and are actively propagandizing new generations of Amerikans in institutions of higher learning.

THey are attempting control of public utilities and power generation and regulating the financial system.
They have extended at least partial control into health care (and death care) and dietary guidelines.

Elections are rife with fraud and the criticism of specific segments of Amerikan society will get you pilloried.

Anybody else getting those little hairs to stand up on the back of their necks ? It is for this reason, there can
never be too many rifles under one roof, too many bullets or MREs....

Another unaccountable Obama Czar....Look her up. Another envirozealot beating a drum. With names like Gore and Soros mentioned in the same sentence as hers, this appointment should send up red flags. She claims that she has a mandate to decide what electrical products should see the light of day in this country. Power by regulations. I guess we little people are too stupid to make decisions on our own. You see, without subsidies given out these days like free cheese samples at the mall, these green energy technologies will be forced to compete in the real world of free markets. The fact of the matter is these subsidies are used to undermine the cost of producing and delivering electricity to the grid that forces other generators specifically coal fired to reduce load or actually come off line. Dont miss understand that wind turbines and panels are excelent alternatives but they have to stand on their own, its called competition, and competition is what keeps prices in check for consumers. Taxpayer and Chicom subsidies do nothing to promote a level playing field, they work to undermine a stable industry that we depend on day and night to keep this country working.

I wonder if the next administration....which will NOT be another Obama admin....nor will it be a Klinton administration either !....will delve into all these appointments and flush that crap where it belongs ? This cannot be allowed to ensconce itself and fester....

...and this is exactly why the Left will not talk about spending cuts. Their answer is more taxes more regulation more government more control. What a foolish bunch of asshats we've become.

Not WE ! There is WE and there is THEM. It has come down to brass tacks ! The next election will determine no less than the future of this country, and the direction we will take in assuming a NEW national identity. I support the destruction and disappearance of the radical left garbage that has been allowed to run barefoot over the rest of us in the name of 'its about time'.....
