It’s as if Solyndra never happened. The Obama Administration is giving $737 million to

a Tonopah Solar, a subsidiary of Cali fornia-based SolarReserve. PCG is an investment

partner with SolarReserve. Nancy Pelosi’s brother-in-law happens to be the number

two man at PCG.

Team Obama is spending $737 milli on to create 45 permanent jobs.

The Hill reported, via Free Republic:

The Energy Department announced Wednesday that is has finalized a $737 million

loan guarantee for a Nevada solar project.

The decision comes several weeks after a California-based solar manufacturer that

received a $535 million loan guarantee from the Obama administration in 2009 filed

for bankruptcy and laid off 1,100 workers, setting off a firestorm in Washington.

The $737 million loan guarantee will help finance construction of the Crescent Dunes

Solar Energy Project, a 110-megawatt solar-power-generating facility in Nye County,

It’s a total misallocation of funds and resources that should be invested in the REALeconomy, not unproven keft-wing wet dreams. The fact that this is obvious corruption isnothing short of breathtaking! The gov’t penchant for picking winners and losers also

disorts the market and causes investor uncertainty.

Well maybe Piglosi and family will give 70% of that to the tax payers, or better yet put it

Nev. The project is sponsored by Tonopah Solar , a subsidiary of California-based

SolarReserve.

Crescent Dunes is the latest solar project to receive a loan guarantee from the Energy

Department in recent weeks. The department announced a $1.2 billion loan

guarantee to Abengoa Solar for a solar generation project in California and a $150

million loan guarantee to 1366 Technologies for a Massachusetts solar manufacturing

project earlier this month.

The Energy Department says the project will result in 600 construction jobs and 45

permanent jobs.

It looks like Rep. Allen West was right.Obama IS trying to destroy the economy.

“The Energy Department says the project will result in 600 construction jobs and 45

So, once again, we have the Progressive Utopia Job Metric (PUJM): $737 million divided

by 45 = $16.37 million per job.

In 2010, the median US household income was $52,026. This project will create ONE

permanent job at the cost of over 300 jobs in the private economy. At this rate, we willbe headed to ZERO private sector jobs faster than you can say “high speed rail”.

Time to point out the real corruption in this.

The governor of California, Jerry Brown, has signed legislation to force every user of electricity in California to buy this electricity NO MATTER WHAT THE COST IS. Jerry

Brown does not care about the economy of California, he only cares about taking care of his crackpot green energy friends and the cash they stuff into his pockets!

Nancy Pelosi has setup her family to get cash from this project in both the short term aswell as the long run. Pelosi, and her entire family, are sleezy and corrupt!

The losers will be whoever is left in California to pay for the absurdly overpriced, and forbusinesses, uncompetitively priced electricity. NO PRODUCT produced in California usingthis electricity will ever be economically viable in a world market!

NEVER underestimate the all encompasing corruption and theft performed by Democratsas they pretend to ‘care’!

Halliburton was also the Clinton’s main squeeze, not tomention receiving an award & heaped on praise via Al Gore..

[The Clinton administration made the same calculation in its own dealings withHalliburton. The company had won the LOGCAP in 1992, then lost it in 1997. The Clinton

administration nonetheless awarded a no-bid contract to Halliburton to continue its work in the Balkans supporting the US peacekeeping mission there because it made little senseto change midstream. According to Byron York, Al Gore's reinventing-government panel even singled out Halliburton for praise for its military logistics work.

So, did Clinton and Gore involve the United States in the Balkans to benefit Halliburton? That charge makes as much sense as the one that Democrats are hurling at Bush now.

Would that they directed more of their outrage at the people in Iraq who want tosabotage the country's oil infrastructure, rather than at the US corporation charged withhelping repair it. (Rich Lowry National Review Editor Sept 22, 2003)

Under the Clinton administration, Halliburton received hundreds of millionsof dollars worth of construction contracts for rebuilding efforts in Kosovoand Haiti.

In a deal cut in June 2000 under President Clinton, the New York Post reports that

Halliburton won 11 Navy contracts worth $110 million to build jails at Guantanamo Bay, abase in Kuwait, a ferry terminal on Vieques, an air station in Spain, a breakwater in the Azores and facilities slammed by a typhoon in Guam.]

Gateway Pundit is overlooking just where this “project” is located. It is the Great Basin

high desert area of Nevada . It is the payback by Dirty Harry Reid for his last electionwin. Just check how many of the company “principles” made donations to Reid and otherdems in the last campaign. I live in NV and many people have been aware of this in theworks “pay back” for at least two years. The power company in the state, NV Energy,was denied building a new EVIL coal power plant in another area of the state thanks toReid making sure the lands were declared “buffer areas” near a national park that no onevisits. Now that same company is being forced to particpate in the solar debacle. And

guess who will be charged for that arm-twisting by the supposed “green” technology thatis merely nothing but the new color for the old red commies.The “project” is also on public (Bureau of Land Management/federal) lands that makesthe land free as well as free of any property taxes.

How does all the absorption of light from the solar cells, or reflection of light from themirrored arrays that are shown, affect the earth temperature? If the sunlight is reflected

from the mirrors then it would heat the atmosphere. And if the mirrors are curved ordished then the sunlight would have a different or shallow angle of elevation which mightexacerbate the rise in temperture.Also if the solar cells with the silicon etc, absorb the light, then there would be a

measurable cooling. Also sun light would not reach any plants so the plant respirationwould be less and the amt of oxygen produced would be less. Therefore less O2 andmore CO2, as it is not respiredand you have cooling and more Co2 both.

Presto! Solar installations create Globaloney Cooling or warming.And more Co2 to “wreck’ theVan Allen Radiation Belt or whatever if is called.Solution to the AGW then is to scotch all solar installations and save the planet.That is the

Since Libs are big on “taxing the rich” and taxing “windfall profits”, perhaps the “winnersin life’s Obama’s crony lottery” should be taxed at 99% on all the money they receivefrom these “Green giveaway” scams.

“Solar Reserve was founded in early 2008 by US Renewables Group in partnership withUnited Technologies Corporation (UTC). During the 2004 election cycle, UTC was the sixth

largest defense industry donor to political campaigns, contributing a total of $789,561.64% of UTC’s 2004 contributions went to Republicans. UTC was also the sixth largestdonor to federal candidates and political parties in the 2006 election cycle. 35% of thosecontributions went to Democrats; 53% of the funds were contributed to Republicans.

In 2005, United Technologies was among 53 entities that contributed the maximum of $250,000 to the second inauguration of President George W. Bush.”

also..but was completely opposed to totalitarianism. It is easy to slip into Statism, akaTotalitarianism, when one is “voting money away from others” and giving it to a govtwho “knows best” to spend…and regulate.

This really doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone with a reality based grasp of thesituation. Despite all the HuffPo/DailyKook/MSNBC protestations and talking points to the

Knowing the nature of these scoundrels itshould come as no surprise to anyone that they would respond to the certain end of business as usual, the loss of their power and access to the taxpayer funded feeding

trough by grabbing as much as they can for themselves and their families. Even the

silverware at the White House is probably marked to the final grab and they’re run out of town.

Comrade Obama has done his best to inflict maximum damage to our hated capitalistsystem since his arrival on the national stage. He is a dogmatic leftist who planned to

effect irreversible and radical change to our society. He has done a pretty good job, butthe 2010 elections were a nasty surprise. So he just pushed his timetable up and tried toallow small concessions to the GOP House majority while pursuing his socialist agendaunabated. He is the most dangerous President in our history. I pray that the GOP holdsthe House and captures the Senate and White House in November 2012 and begins toremove this ugly socialist stain from our history.
