Green at Any Cost: Solyndra was just the beginning

May. 4, 2012 6:02pm Chris Field

American taxpayers should brace to lose millions more from the federal Department of Energy’s alternative energy stimulus investments, predicts the leading Republican congressman investigating Solyndra.

Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., chairman of the House Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, also forecasts significantly higher energy costs if President Obama gets a second term to implement what Stearns calls an “alternative-energy-no-matter-what-the-cost” policy.

“Their policy is very doctrinaire; they want to push green energy at any and all costs,” Stearns said in an exclusive interview with The Blaze. “They want to eliminate fossil fuels in this country, not realizing the alternatives now are not efficient. The White House is trying to install a program for green energy that’s not based on free-market principles.”

Stearns predicts Obama will restrain a federal alternative energy push until after the November election.

It scares me to think what this administration will do even if it looses. I can see a defeated Obama doing some scary things before he leaves the office. Sort of like repoed homeowners trashing the house before they leave.

Lets take all airplanes and replace their fuel turbine engines for batteries engines. Including airforce one, B-52, combats choppers, etc. Let me stop here and no give them too many ideas.

There’s a lot of things the white house is installing that have no relationship to our constitution.

  Most of Obama’s “projects” have been insulting funnels for laundering our money. Its simply a question of how quickly and if we can stop him. Its ALL ABOUT voting him out of office now.
