“The Department of Energy is being weaponized to reward the political supporters of the administration,” Peter Schweizer concludes on the most recent episode ofWith the government poised at the brink of a shutdown last week, the Department of Energy last week doled out another batch of “green energy” spending on projects in eleven states. This is a portion of a $2.
In 2022, Podesta was put in charge of nearly $370 billion in clean energy “investments” by the Biden White House, making him the real decision-maker for handing out funds to make clean energy cost-effective and incentivize Americans to accept higher costs for their gasoline in the process. Meanwhile, Podesta’s personal net worth has skyrocketed during his time in Washington to about $28.4 million, according to his financial disclosures.
In 2009, on behalf of the new Obama administration, Podesta and CAP senior fellows held talks with China in Beijing on issues including climate change, according to Peter Schweizer’s book,. Podesta himself has said Chinese companies will be the big players of America becoming green. As the Government Accountability Institute reported in 2016, the Wyss Charitable Foundation gave “between $1 million to $5 million to the Clinton Foundation,” and “Podesta was paid $87,000 by the Wyss Foundation in 2013.” Podesta failed to disclose his membership on the board of Joule Stichting in his federal financial disclosure forms when he did join the Obama administration in 2013 as a senior advisor.
