Green energy works like this:
Gov pays for science showing need for green widget.
Gov subsidizes green widget.
Gov connected gets subsidy to make green widget
Gov connected uses subsidy to contribute to pols and pay himself handsomely.
Gov subsidy runs out
Green widget fails to deliver, company bankrupts.
Gov and connected move to next subsidy scam, taxpayers eat the loss.

These projects tend to be very inefficient ways to transfer taxpayer money to politically connected people.


If the taxpayers could organize, (maybe we have with President Trump!) you could directly bribe politicians to be much more careful with your money.

They are so inefficient at stealing the money. They only get a return of less than 1%!

They seem eager to waste a hundred dollars if they can pocket a dime!
