Veterans Administration hospitals have spent at least $420 million on solar panels and windmills while vets wait months — or even lay dying — to see a doctor.

In total, VA hospitals reported 23 deaths due to 76 instances of delayed care, an April 2014 VA fact sheet said. Then on June 5, Acting Veteran Affairs Secretary Sloan Gibson revealed that at least 18 Phoenix patients died while waiting for treatment on a secret list kept off the books. It is not clear if that number is in addition to the 23 deaths reported earlier. During the past month, the scandal has resulted in the resignations of both the VA secretary and the leaders of its health care component.

Everybody knows that the alternative energy baloney is just part of The Big Democrat Money Laundering Machine. The Democrats take money from taxpayers and pay ten times the normal cost for this alternative energy crap and then the alternative energy companies funnel some of that money back to the Democrat Party. They could care less about the Veterans.

Not only veterans the whole military has to go green and spend money on that instead of equipment along with their huge budget cuts. Training has been drastically cut.

I just saw that old time green energy film from the 60s the other night.

I believe that the name was Soylent something or other.
