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.
This is a defense commonly employed against FOIA requests when seeking to withhold certain communications with, for example, paid consultants.

Natch.
I wonder how many more snakes will come crawling out as the rocks get turned over.
We know how Zero will react. He will get arrogant and rule by edict.
Is Soros still denied entry into the U.S.?
Every action Obama has taken has an immediate or long-term negative effect on America. His policies weaken the US via his Marxist/Globalist friends like Van Jones, Soros, Stern, Poedesta and the Czars.
We are facing a President that wants us crippled.
We need to hold of ObamaCare and then remove every last Dem and RINO we can from office.
This is madness.
And while we b*tch, gripe and complain, Cloward & Piven continues..
Left-wing lobbyists? Left-wing lobbyists aren’t lobbyists at all, just like terrorists aren’t terrorists. You see, what we call left-wing lobbyists are really legislative engineers. They are idea people.
See?
I’m beginning to think that the hate directed at President Bush by the left all those years, was really because they had already planned to do all this nasty stuff to us if gore or kerry had managed to get elected. Instead, President Bush’s getting elected got in the way of their dirty little plans for us.
I just contacted my Congressman Sensenbrenner and copied the story to him. I asked for him to reply what actions he will be taking now that he has been lied to by Ms. Zoi. I also asked him whether he would be holding hearings next January if the Republicans take over the HOuse and he will be chairing the Committee.
The Rat Gov of this State just gave one of those whore Spanish wind companies millions of dollars in tax credits to build a plant here. I want no part of paying for this corruption.
Economic terrorism. Military might has not been able to conquer us so our enemies have chosen a much more subtle, yet just as lethal, weapon: attacking our economy. Environmentalism and healthcare and manufacturing and banking — we are under attack.
The list, ping
Incest is best kept within the family. Its the Chicago way!
