Pelosi's brother-in-law is given $737m of taxpayers' money to build giant solar plant

Nancy Pelosi is facing accusations of cronyism after a solar energy project, which her brother-in-law has a stake in, landed a $737 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy, despite the growing Solyndra scandal.

The SolarReserve project is backed by an energy investment fund where the Minority Leader's brother-in-law Ronald Pelosi is second in command.

Tom Schatz, president of Washington-based advocacy group Citizens Against Government Waste, said: 'It is time for a full audit of their activities, their management and their results.

'Candidly, it might be time for the federal government to rethink the whole idea of loan programs.'

Rush calls it an Obama slush fund. Read the last two-thirds of this article. When does this crap stop?

Pelosi was asked where the money will be spent. She said, My brother-in-law has to go bankrupt before you can see where the money was spent.

Wonder how the Mohave desert tortoise faired in this deal?

Bet that was an fancy EIR.

Wonder if this was all private land from the get/go?

Did any Federal or state-owned land get shuffled around to make the deal go?

Item???? Scandal with criminal implications...Ms. Pelosi should be behind bars for her malfeasance as Speaker of the House sworn to uphold and protect both the Constitution and the Nation. She is a criminal; she broke the law.

I know where a used solar plant is for sale. And as a kicker is it very close to his SIL’s base

How many millions did Pelosi pocket? An old family tradition which has made her nearly $100 million.

Pray for America

“You have to give the 737 million to find out who gets it...................” A Pelosism factoid in politics as practiced at the liberal trough.

It's public land not private.

"The project is proposed to be located on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management."
