After two studies refuted President Barack Obama’s assertions regarding the success of Spain’s and Denmark’s wind energy programs, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request reveals the Department of Energy turned to George Soros and to wind industry lobbyists to attack the studies.
Via the FOIA request, the Competitive Enterprise Institute has learned that the Department of Energy — specifically the office headed by Al Gore’s company’s former CEO, Cathy Zoi — turned to George Soros’ Center for American Progress and other wind industry lobbyists to help push Obama’s wind energy proposals.
The FOIA request was not entirely complied with, and CEI just filed an appeal over documents still being withheld. In addition to withholding many internal communications, the administration is withholding communications with these lobbyists and other related communications, claiming they constitute “inter-agency memoranda.†This implies that, according to the DoE, wind industry lobbyists and Soros’s Center for American Progress are — for legal purposes — extensions of the government.
I’m more than just a little bit serious with this, as the only words rolling through my head when I read the context article is: Bastards!
Yes, with the exclamation point.
Actually, it’s a perfect indictment of the government role overall, not just Obingo’s flavor of it. do history books even mention the Teapot Dome scandal anymore?
This kind of back-scratching corruption is now, and has been standard operating procedure for a long time. The only difference in energy issues between Teapot Dome and now is the type of energy, in this case, wind energy.
A smart government would encourage ALL forms of energy development. In my 66 years, government has NEVER been that smart.
These fools are going to keep stretching the rubber band until it breaks. And I suspect they aren’t going to like what happens then…
