A buddy of Obama & Gore? Solar is needed for our future energy, and to line the pockets of Barry and Al’s buddies.

Someone who defrauds society to the tune of a billion dollars deserves a harsher sentence then a mere 6 1/2 years in some country club prison.

As most of us know, this whole green power thing is 1 big scam when Obama threw a lot of money into alternative energy and all basically went down a black hole

The Theranos liar Elizabeth Holmes defrauded for nearly the same money on fake blood test tech that affected many peoples lives and investments, she only got 11 1/2 years and could be kut in less than 10.

Makes me sick.

Funny how you never hear of government-funded scams in the oil and gas sector

My mother actually told me that if I became a crook, to think big. She was absolutely right.

Now this is a REAL example of white (=class) priviledge.

Yup its only the top elites who still retain white privileges, the rest of us lost that a long time ago. But the elites still like to bandy that term about because it helps keep the lower economic classes fighting among themselves. That’s basically been the Dem strategy, get people all hopped up on race so they won’t notice the exploitation and influence of the wealthy elite class to which the Dems have now aligned themselves.

I used to work in a town outside of Sacramento, Kalifornia. At one point in time there were both State and Federal subsidies (taxpayer $$$) for this crap. Every day I drove by the ‘company’ at least twice. Days I had many appointments I drove by it even more. You could not miss it. They chose an old farm compound (main house, 1 large building, 1 smaller shed). Signs everywhere about the ‘affordability’ of solar. When all your neighbors are paying, through subsidies, sure, it is less expensive for you. Almost to the day that the subsidies ended, the ‘company’ was gone. No signs, no vans, nothing. If it weren’t for the subsidies, the ‘company’ would never had existed at all.

Sometimes on these threads someone comments about just how well their solar energy setup is working for them. More power to you, but you cannot run a civilization on just solar. Human ingenuity may someday figure it out. We have thousands of years of energy-rich oil and natural gas. Every month there is a new discovery of more billions of barrels of oil. We have only drilled a few miles into the Earth. The western world knows how to use this energy without destroying the world. Heck, 70% of France’s electricity comes from nuclear power. Germany decided to shut down their nukes, and quickly learned about a thing called winter. France has no intention of shutting down. They are building more nuclear powered electricity plants.

Just like every other commie tyrant, democRATS create shortages in order to control. Kalifornia democRATS are going to flush all the water and snowmelt out into the ocean, instead of saving some of it for humans. The Kalifornia Sierra snowpack is, today, at 250% of normal. Instead of building more dams, Kalifornia is hellbent on tearing down as many dams as possible. Snail darters and salmon, don’t you know, are so much more important than humans. I’ve never seen a fish or a squirrel pick up a fire hose and put out a forest fire.

The real endangered species in democRAT areas is humans. Everywhere you turn, they are trying to kill us. If it weren’t for alternative media and the internet, the virus treatment, (I refuse to call it a vaccine), might have eliminated billions of humans. As it stands, the reproductive capabilities of millions of people, women and men, have been damaged. We shall see the long-term results of this insanity. When Pfizer and the Feds tried to hide, for 75 YEARS, some of the Vax testing, I knew it was much worse than I already suspected. Thousands of pregnant women miscarried their babies. Pfizer, Fauci wanted to hide all this for 75 years. Come to think of it, the DemocRAT Party of Death just considers all these miscarriages as just more abortions. If they won’t voluntarily flush their child, democRATS will find another way to rack up their kills.

Just let it slip out that he agreed to the term and fine to avoid being tried for the abuse of numerous minors, both genders.

He will never make it to 6 and 1/2 months. It is not like anyone expects that the fine will be paid. The commie trash running the DNC have already pocketed those $$.
