Don’t worry. Obama is asking for billions for high-speed rail for California.
Aside from tax dollars down the hole, you have to admit it’s pretty funny.
Why in the hell is even one extra dollar being spent in CA considering the economic state of affairs there?
The DemocRATS’ “alternative energy” projects just don’t seem to be ready for primetime. It looks like we need to dump more taxpayer dollars down those rat holes and just continue to “hope”.
I think that kinda describes the Obama administration. But of course, in the movie, Billy Ray wises up. Pure fiction.
“The 250-megwatt plant was backed by an $825 million Department of Energy loan guarantee.”
Another “green energy” boondoggle. What a damned waste of money.
This should also illustrate that the enviro-lunatics simply want no energy production or industry whatsoever.
Oh, how I love it when Liberals get screwed by Liberals. Reminds me of the Peta nerds laying down in front of Teamsters wagons in the ‘96 Demonratz Convention :))))
In the movie the Producers, they were only going to make money IF the play was a flop.
I am not saying this is the case of all these energy projects, but if they get loans to build something, and they actually had to produce once built, it is a risk.
If however they get loans guaranteed by the government, and after getting as much money as possible, find a reason not to complete the project, they they win, since they can walk away with the money, taxpayers left holding the bag.
If we had an honest media in this nation someone would (as often instructed) follow the money. Just how could they get so far down before the environmentalist discovers something that shuts them down?
I do not know if this is all a scam or not, but I do know the federal government has no business financing private companies (who if it all works out reap any profits).
They want the profits they and their investors should take the risk.
...deadly outbreak of distemper among kit foxes and the discovery of a prehistoric human settlement on the work site
It’s all about the graft....
It suggests to me that a clandestine burying of AmerIndian artifacts, like arrowheads, etc., on a proposed mosque site, and then claiming it was “an ancient Indian burial ground” would cause Liberal heads to explode over the dilemma. (Yes, I know a dead pig would work too, but I was being creative. :-) )
Seems like another “shovel ready project” hit somes old bones.
Now, I wonder whether it will be:
The Energy Department
Department of the Interior
The EPA
The Bureau of Indian Affairs
or, PETA,
that says that the foxes and indian remains aren’t really
an issue here, proceed, as the solar power is for the good of the planet and will decrease glo-bull warming!
Seriously, is this what the US has come to??
I remember in the 1950s-60s, our elementary textbooks bragging about the dams, water diversions, highways, bridges, power plants, refineries, oil wells, civil engineering, agribusiness, and other achievements of man-over-nature that we’d completed, with no end in sight.
Now we tremble at a snake skeleton, a scampering mouse, a petroglyph, a suspected arrowhead (unless Feinstein has leased the property), three-toed mouse, one-eyed falcon, or saguaro west of the Colorado.
What quivering beings we have become. Government leviathan uber alles.
Could be, it was Gram Parsons crematoria site out there in the desert.
