Crescent Dunes can be converted into a billion-dollar one-second Thanksgiving turkey cooker.

Outgoing President Joe Biden’s Justice Department moved on election night on Nov. 5 to essentially ensure the cover-up of a potentially massive green energy scandal, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.
This story has tentacles back through, not just the Biden administration, but all the way back to the Obama administration, and it could be something that jeopardizes the broader green energy agenda and the future of leftist solar projects on federal lands. At least one congresswoman is already formally pressing the DOJ for answers, and more members of Congress are likely to get involved soon. It could even have major implications for the incoming administration’s energy policy.
On Nov. 5, at 5:20 p.m. ET, less than an hour before the first polls closed and when it had become clear from the exit polls that Democrat presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris was likely to lose, an attorney with the Justice Department emailed lawyers for plaintiffs in a qui tam lawsuit aimed at recouping significant losses the taxpayers allegedly incurred from a failed solar plant in Nevada. A qui tam lawsuit is when a private plaintiff sues on behalf of the U.S. Government to recoup taxpayer dollars — often alleging fraud, misuse, or theft of taxpayer dollars.
The email from the DOJ stated what plaintiffs started hearing through the grapevine as the election neared and it became clear the Harris campaign was in trouble. The email said that the DOJ intended to dismiss a lawsuit that it had previously allowed to proceed, thereby undercutting the private push to recoup significant losses for American taxpayers.

Must be bad if they couldn’t wait for a Friday release.

Do not forget the $900 million Solendra scandel under Obama
Hmmmmm! Jeopardizes the green agenda sounds like a good plan to me. BullDOGE the subsidies and see how quick they fold. Put the brakes on the 30 million acre gulf of Mexico wind farm. Just in case someone actually would take that on.
The Crescent Dunes project was subsequently backed by a $737 million in U.S. government loan guarantees and by Tonopah partnering with Cobra Thermosolar Plants, Inc. The overall venture had a projected cost of less than $1 billion.[8][9] The plant suffered several design, construction and technical problems and, having not produced power since April 2019, its sole customer, NV Energy, subsequently terminated their contract.
Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project
What is it with these solar projects and government money?
How Green Energy really works:
1. Hundreds of millions given to green energy companies
2. Many millions donated to the Democrats from the company
3. Executives paid lavish salaries
4. Company goes bankrupt
5. Taxpayers left holding the bag, we get screwed
6. Joe Biden’s wealth increases
7. Everybody is happy except the screwed taxpayer
There is no such thing as ‘Green Energy’, it’s just a money laundering scam and always has been. See Solyndra.....................
They are nothing more than money-laundering scam to raise money for Democrats. That’s all they ever have been...................
Bkmk
You forgot the second-order effect:
1A. Company recruits employees with lavish stock options. Employees excited about big payday and hitting the jackpot.
4A. Employee stock options washed out and worthless. Employees all fired, broke, and unemployed.
First time I've heard this term... and hopefully it will become a lot more common over the next couple of years.
Ways to reward donors.
BTTT
“FAILED”
No it didn’t. It performed exactly as planned. Fleece the tax payers and enrich the politically connected. None of these “green” boondoggles have anything to do with producing energy.
