With Biden back in the White House, you can bet that the Democrats are going to get nearly everything on their little wish list.

They no longer care about doing what’s right…if they ever did to begin with. They only care about getting what they want and claiming that it’s what the American people want.

One of the things that I’ll bet you will see within the next year or two is the adoption of a massive amount of debt (that was sorted by lowell iva) by going forward with some sort of version of a Green New Deal.

Biden has called for a “clean energy revolution,” proposing $2 trillion in federal spending over four years on clean energy initiatives, infrastructure projects, and new climate regulations. Among his first actions in office were several executive actions implementing aspects of the Green New Deal — a progressive legislative agenda designed to fundamentally transform the U.S. economy to meet far-left climate standards.

Obama invested heavily in green energy back when he was president, remember?

Here are some of the companies that Obama invested in through the bailouts:

• Evergreen Solar ($24 million)*
• SpectraWatt ($500,000)*
• Solyndra ($535 million)*
• Beacon Power ($69 million)*
• AES’s subsidiary Eastern Energy ($17.1 million)
• Nevada Geothermal ($98.5 million)
• SunPower ($1.5 billion)
• First Solar ($1.46 billion)
• Babcock and Brown ($178 million)
• EnerDel’s subsidiary Ener1 ($118.5 million)*
• Amonix ($5.9 million)
• National Renewable Energy Lab ($200 million)
• Fisker Automotive ($528 million)
• Abound Solar ($374 million)*
• A123 Systems ($279 million)*
• Willard and Kelsey Solar Group ($6 million)
• Johnson Controls ($299 million)
• Schneider Electric ($86 million)
• Brightsource ($1.6 billion)
• ECOtality ($126.2 million)
• Raser Technologies ($33 million)*
• Energy Conversion Devices ($13.3 million)*
• Mountain Plaza, Inc. ($2 million)*
• Olsen’s Crop Service and Olsen’s Mills Acquisition Company ($10 million)*
• Range Fuels ($80 million)*
• Thompson River Power ($6.4 million)*
• Stirling Energy Systems ($7 million)*
• LSP Energy ($2.1 billion)*
• UniSolar ($100 million)*
• Azure Dynamics ($120 million)*
• GreenVolts ($500,000)
• Vestas ($50 million)
• LG Chem’s subsidiary Compact Power ($150 million)
• Nordic Windpower ($16 million)*
• Navistar ($10 million)
• Satcon ($3 million)*

Do you see those that have an asterisk next to them? That means that they filed for bankruptcy. The biggest failure that most of us know about already was Solyndra.

The Wall Street Journal reported that former Obama EPA official Joe Goffman is now in charge of the Biden administration’s greenhouse gas regulations as principal deputy assistant administrator of the Office of Air and Radiation.

Consultants referred by Mr. Goffman told the AGs that regulating CO2 as a criteria pollutant wouldn’t fly. But they proposed using ozone NAAQS as what one called a”backdoor.” Fossil fuel combustion, motor vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions contribute to ozone. So the EPA could make states reduce CO2 emissions by tightening ozone standards. States might have to outlaw natural gas-powered appliances, gas stations and internal combustion engines to meet stricter ozone standards.

Any climate legislation Congress enacts will no doubt contain a potpourri of green energy subsidies, but Democrats won’t be able to use budget reconciliation to banish fossil fuels. As former EPA official John Bachmann wrote in an email to New York’s Office of Attorney General, “New legislation requiring specific actions would be much better than NAAQS, and yet I’m mindful of the obvious problem of how to get such legislation even with a new administration.” Other climate consultants agreed.

Now with Goffman back in charge, you know this is just going to be Obama 2.0 when it comes to environmental policy.
