The Biden administration is shoveling over massive amounts of taxpayer money to disastrous, toxic “green” energy before leaving office. Two experts have weighed in to criticize this spending and offer advice to Donald Trump on federal climate policies in exclusive comments to PJ Media.
The Biden “spending spree,” as Steve Milloy calls it, is “undermining America’s economic and geopolitical security,” according to H. Sterling Burnett, the director of the Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy at The Heartland Institute.
In late November, the Washington Free Beacon reported that the Biden-Harris administration was in a rush to finalize 16 pending “green” energy loans, for a total value of $25.1 billion in taxpayer money, before Donald Trump takes office and fulfills his promise to ax “green” energy initiatives. But the only real green in “green” energy is the cash for climate alarmist companies.
Steve Milloy, who is an Energy & Environment senior legal policy fellow and a former Trump EPA transition team member, focused on Trump’s options to counteract the Biden administration spending. “I have confidence that the incoming Trump administration will claw back as much of the Biden spending spree as possible,” he stated.
“Ahead of that, I am hoping President Trump issues a warning that the people behind and benefitting from this spending spree will be fully investigated and sanctioned, if not prosecuted, if wrong doing is found,” he added. Milloy’s comments follow a memorandum from the Department of Energy (DOE) Inspector General Teri L. Donaldson about the risks and the failure to track conflicts of interest in the DOE Loan Programs Office loans, as he urged a halt.
