How much money????
Looking at the 3 Executive Orders issued in March 2012,
Executive Order 13602
Establishing a White House Council on Strong Cities, Strong Communities
Executive Order 13603
National Defense Resources Preparedness
Executive Order 13604
Improving Performance of Federal Permitting and Review of Infrastructure Projects
The only one that carries a presidential override for ‘we can’t wait’ is 13603, the National Defense Resources Preparedness order. You all thought I was crazy when I said he would do this. That little phrase change, “in peacetime and times of emergency” changed everything.
Calling it “clean energy” doesn’t make it clean in reality, any more than calling taxes “revenue” makes it real income. Fact is that solar arrays are huge water hogs and subject to corrosion as well as ruining the fragile desert environment, and much the same goes for the bird-killing eyesores called wind farms. Both types of energy generation are net energy losers and environmental degraders with big carbon footprints.
Other than that it’s all hunky dory.
Oops...Bad math...closer to 300,000 acres.
Also known as multi-billion dollar giveaways to political donors.

I have come to believe these Renewable Energy Infrastructure Projects are basically fronts to laundry money back to the DNC...
HUGE opportunity here!!!
add your own...
Solyndra...we just didn’t invest enough!!!
and the next...
and the next...
WE JUST DIDN’T “INVEST” ENOUGH!!!
He is doing it through EXECUTIVE ORDERS!
Don't forget the Chinese. They're about the only ones making photovoltaic panels anymore.
Oops, my bad. You already said political donors
For the last 4 years we have witnessed the greatest theft in history and yes it did begin under Bush II but it was forged on Capitol Hill.
Get used to it. Unless he is removed from office he will continue to rule with exec orders. Even with a Republican House and Senate...he will just veto everything and rule by fiat either by exec orders or through his CZARS who have been empowered by the failure of the congress to exert their power. Now they have NONE and it is unlikely that there will ever be a 2/3 majority for override. USA is going the way of Germany, Russia, China, N.Korea etc..etc...etc. unless this Marxist is dethroned. Imagine what the SCOTUS will look like in 4 years.
“Sh&t!”, cried the King. And a movement came over the nation. For in those days, the King’s word was law.
Don’t know about that....but one of them has a $600 million dollar capital cost investment...
254,000 acres of bird-killer wind turbines and grotesque solar panels. “Renewable energy” is low yield, land defacing, costly and not cost effective. Perhaps this is just another Solyndra; A money laundering scheme for the Chicago machine.
This is his big election year iniative that he can trumpet on the campaign trail?
Shovel-ready Solyndra? Realllllly?!?
The man never learns. In this case, thank God, he never learns!
Yep.
And he’ll get 2% or so in donations back from this for the campaign.
Boehner stinks, but the House of Reps has not impeached Chairman Obama because we do not demand it.
