Always nice to see you slip in at the most opportune times... You do add so much to the discussions....
How many Scientist are on the take FOR global warming?? Did you check any of them out too??
I mean it’s no secret about the large network of hired pundits and scientists helping to spread the fear mongering, right?? The supposed CO2’s alarming effect is what they use to justify the scam isn’t it?? Scientist arent sponsored by anyone right?? It’s just government concern that gives all this funding or had given all that funding that is now pulled back... and now requires justification in research, right??
The government’s picking winners and losers in the energy market has cost taxpayers billions of dollars, and the rate of failure, cronyism, and corruption at the companies receiving the subsidies is substantial. The fact that some oh say like Solyndra that Bo forked over millions to has absolutely no bearing does it??
Or how about these companies and all those millions later, what is there?? Well they are either gone or faltering soon to be belly up .. And who got all that money ??? Well the good buddy syndrome alone gave them all a hefty income didn’t it?? Are their CEOs or Past chairmen of the board broke now too,?? What, no and that surprises who ????
Many of these names I know you know about maybe you could enlighten us here too??

And oh “The 2009 stimulus set aside $80 billion to subsidize politically preferred energy projects. Since that time, 1,900 investigations have been opened to look into stimulus waste, fraud, and abuse (although not all are linked to the green-energy funds), and nearly 600 convictions have been made. Of that $80 billion in clean energy loans, grants, and tax credits, at least 10 percent has gone to companies that have since either gone bankrupt or are circling the drain....”
Hope you’re healthy and well for this New Year of many great things to come..
