Biden’s Energy Nominee Divvied Millions In Taxpayer Funds To Alternative Energy Startups That Went Bankrupt

President Joe Biden’s nominee to head the Department of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, divvied out millions in taxpayer funds during her two terms as Michigan governor to alternative energy companies that eventually went bankrupt.

In one instance, Granholm’s administration provided a $9.1 million refundable tax credit to a renewable energy company registered to the address of a single-wide trailer and run by a convicted embezzler named Richard Short. Short was found to be in violation of his parole and sent back to prison after appearing on stage with Granholm in 2010 to accept assistance from the Michigan Economic Growth Authority, according to Michigan Capitol Confidential.

Granholm also granted $10 million to an electric car battery manufacturer, A123 Systems, in 2009 and lauded the company in a press conference, saying it would help “make Michigan the alternative energy capital of North America and the advanced battery capital of the world.”

A123 Systems, which also received a $249.12 million federal grant by the Obama administration, filed for bankruptcy in 2012. The company is still in operation today as a subsidiary of a Chinese firm, Wanxiang America.

I need Fed $$$$$$$$ for my dilithium reactor electric power plant.
It’s 100% clean, the only waste products are water and oxygen. It’s a fantastic opportunity, I also need partners and franchisees.

BOHICA

is alive and well in this hidenbiden administration.

Of course their ‘goal’ isn’t to put the best QUALIFIED PERSON in positions of ‘power’ it is to see what they can be the ‘First’ of in the ‘freak show’ category.

Don’t worry, it won’t take long for the so called ‘honored’ group to start demanding MORE representation so that is when the ‘fun’ should start.

The signs at Yellowstone etc warning to NOT feed the wildlife are there for a reason and OUR very well paid reps haven’t had the common sense to apply it to ‘real life’.

In Michigan we called her Jennifer Grandtheft. Did she get that Uncle Buck mole taken care of on her face?

Just to show you how real Jenny is -

Granholm’s official portrait as governor was a photo shopped composite of 4 pictures. I visited the shop where it was done while she was governor.

Couldn’t get just one pic right enough to satisfy her.

As if anybody would want to satisfy her....
