The scams of moving taxpayer money through non-profits to big party donors are monumental and almost always democrat driven and cooperative.
I have followed leads when reading about municipalities seeking energy saving projects and found that they have no intention of actually being effective. They just go through the process of having their media publish a feel good story to keep the donations coming and the public support strong. I recently talked with the director of a big energy and environmental department int he west that had lost a ton of money on a non productive wind farm. I went into detail about what can be done to accomplish actual energy cuts and cost savings with induction lighting and he told me they had just finished converting all of the government offices and facilities in the county to compact fluorescent. I mentioned the fact that this technology is being recognized as a failure and he said, "I know. But, we began the grant process almost four years ago and it was based on CFL."
The point of the project was not to really save energy, it was to spend government money and have some banquets.
Thanks for the link.
