Obama, Clinton Foundation Donors Sold ‘Green’ Fuel to Military for $149 per Gallon
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 8/12/2015 | Ali Meyer

Posted on 08/12/2015 1:23:01 PM PDT by GoneSalt

The CEO and Board of Directors of Solazyme, a company the military paid $149 per gallon for “alternative” fuel, have donated more than $300,000 to Democratic candidates and committees, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis.

Recipients of significant donations included the Obama Victory Fund and the Democratic National Committee. Additionally, Solazyme donated between $100,000 and $250,000 to the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

A Congressional Research Service (CRS) report found that the Department of Defense (DOD) paid Solazyme $149 per gallon for fuel made of algal oil, costing taxpayers a total of $223,500 in 2009. The group also received a $21 million stimulus grant from Department of Energy in 2009.

For Democrats, it’s not a love of nature but a love of money. Money, which gives them power, is their god.

Thank you. Simple HTML I know building biz sites, which sources are excerpted I’m pretty sure about, unacceptable sites that aren’t on that list I worry about. I hope the program pretty much blocks them all; “freep.com not welcome at FR” and so on.

Crony capitalists to provide the dough.
Entitlement army to provide the votes.
The Dem plan to win.

And this is just a drop in the bucket.

We should be surrounding their buildings and daring them to come out.

Problem is, we are working too damn hard to take a friggin day off!

Government contracts have been very lucrative for decades and probably centuries. Nothing has changed and nothing ever will.
