John Podesta: Biden's New Green Investment Czar
Gatestone Institute ^ | September 29th 2022 | Peter Schweizer

Posted on 09/29/2022 8:50:50 AM PDT by Jacquerie

In the Biden administration's uncanny ability to put the wrong people in the wrong jobs, naming John Podesta to be the new "climate czar" might be its masterstroke.

The White House announced recently that John Podesta will oversee $370 billion in clean energy investments included in the Inflation Reduction Act. This makes him the decision-maker for handing out money to make green energy a viable, cost-effective replacement for fossil fuels. Green energy subsidies and other government giveaways have been tried before, and failed, but not at this scale. With so much money at stake, you might have expected the administration to choose someone with a strong background in energy technologies or perhaps someone possessing deep experience in the energy business who can spot the good (and bad) uses for all that money.

Podesta, now 73, is, as the New York Times primly calls him, "a power broker." His long career in Washington began in the Jimmy Carter era, then it was on to jobs on Capitol Hill. In 1988 he made his first trip through the famous "revolving door" to start a lobbying firm with his brother, Tony. During the Clinton administration, Podesta went through the revolving door again to several jobs, concluding as President Bill Clinton's last Chief of Staff in the White House. Post-Clinton, he founded the Center for American Progress (CAP), a left-leaning think tank, and was later chairman of Hillary Clinton's unsuccessful 2016 presidential campaign.

$370B. Imagine Solyndra times 1,000. Corruption of the highest order. How much will flow back as campaign donations to rats?

Think voting pubbie will reverse our slide?

I don’t think I’ve ever detested a person as much as I do Podesta. Pure evil.

I worked in energy research & development for utility companies for 20 years. We always had to scrimp and beg for money for research. $370 BILLION just boggles the mind.

One thing I know for certain is that absolutely NOTHING will come out of that waste other than lining the pockets of politicians, unions, venture capitalists, and the top executives of startup companies.

Well, it isn’t true that nothing will come of it. All of us taxpayers are getting a royal screwing; we will get unreliable, very high-priced (and probably intermittent) power; and the USA will be unable to compete in global markets because of high-priced power.

If I were the CEO of a US corporation, I would be asking my e-staff how we are going to secure reliable, low-cost power to stay competitive. The answer will probably be to move operations to India and China.

“He is a smarmy small man with a distinct weasel demeanor.”

Sounds like the Man of the Year, Fauci.

Obviously, the climate change will have to wait.
This money will be wasted.
Pocketed by Podesta and his friends and given to Democratic donors.
Some people here are worried about corruption in Ukraine.
Do not worry, John is a lot better in squandering taxpayers money than anybody abroad!

After Trump got through getting rid of them, the RAT scum are starting to float up to the top again.

Such an evil little man. He’s the one who wanted an example made out of Seth Rich when he was alive. He’s a vile disgusting demon from the Clintonista crime gang. He is also the one who has Password as the password to the DNC server that was hacked. He also would not let the FBI investigate the break-in hacking. Hardly the credentials of a steward of 370 billion dollars unless you want the 370 billion dollars to vanish.
