Dwayne Breger, director of the division of renewable and alternative energy development at the state's Department of Energy Resources, said the municipal grants will allow cities and towns to tap into existing commercially available technology, including photovoltaics, solar panels and batteries for energy storage, to power emergency services, shelters and elderly housing even if the electrical grid goes down.

Uh, they do know in a emergency you need power at police stations, fire stations, etc. all day, not just when they sun is shining. Right? Kinda like the generators they have for such a occasion, already in place.

Someone’s making money.

My family lives in Taxachusetts, I am pretty sure they are all laughing hysterically.

Scam!

$52 Million to see if ice melts outside during summer.
And the fools just keep taking it in the....well, you know.

[facedown]

Just doling out the payoffs to his donors.

This requires a Gumpism: “Stupid is as Stupid does”.

The parrot is dead.

Not sleeping, not still, dead.

Theft, plain and simple. You cannot steal the money until you allocate it to some fraudulent project.

Boston radio station was giddy -- their pronunciation: "Deval Patrick is giving $50M to cities and towns of MA!!!"

I'm thinking -- "Where'd the money come from? The cities and towns of MA, of course." It's simple redistribution and the vote buying.

Looks like a windfall for the police and fire dept. unions.

Coupe deVal is such an idiot!

[Dapper 26]

$52 million payoff to unions, friends and political support groups, plain and simple.

Wasting money gives me a chill.

$52 million money to be laundered in Democrat projects and the media is wall to wall coverage of a traffic jam on a bridge.

"As we've seen in Western Massachusetts, with the tornado and the ice storms, you can have serious weather events across the commonwealth," Sullivan said.

"Across the commonwealth" certainly make it seem like a vast area, doesn't it?

Here in Texas, we have relatively limited geographic areas that I would judge to be analogous to this "commonwealth" concept of which this fellow speaks.

We call them "counties."

[bkopto]

Serves the fools of Massachusetts right for electing this dolt.

If human-caused global warming were actually happening, that $55 Million wouldn’t amount to a fart in a tornado for stopping or even attenuating it..

Come to think of it, even though AGW IS NOT happening, it still won’t amount to a fart in a tornado. All it will do is line some well-placed libs’ pockets, not to mention the %$%$%$ that will find its way back to Patrick’s pockets....under the table, of course.

Gov. Deval Patrick announces $52 million in state funding to combat effects of climate change

How much funding to protect against attacks by unicorns?
