Episode Details

Beginning with President Obama, we were exposed to the concept of "Clean Coal", which is an oxymoron, but from there we quickly moved in the direction of the "green economy".  Remember the "shovel-ready" jobs initiative, the Obama administration paid Americans to have their windows and doors caulked by an army of construction workers.  He said it would employ millions of Americans while preparing our society for the new "Green Economy".  The Obama administration spent billions of dollars on boondoggles like Solyndra, which ultimately went bankrupt.  Later they got much better at picking the winners and distributed billions of more dollars to begin making the grid more green by pumping taxpayer money into projects involving wind and solar. Join me today as we discuss these initiatives and the challenges behind their implementation.
