Hope it works out for the African ‘people’ and not the skimmers in between.
It didn’t work for us tho.

Could become like the now bankrupt companies that made millions
off the taxpayers only to donate it back to the left.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday announced a $20 million partnership between the United States and African nations to boost clean energy projects.

So who are we borrowing THAT money from?

Any African nations?

Clean energy....the dirtiest scam around.

The Obama administration has squandered billions that we don’t have on “clean energy” BS which produces nothing. When you think about it, $20 million on “clean energy” BS is a bargain.

Mass starvation, tin pot dictators, annual incomes of under $100 per year...and we want to give them windmills. Are we grand?

Compare this to Bush’s effort to stem the AIDS epidemic in Africa.

... announced during this week's Rio+20 U.N. summit on sustainable development that 50 countries have pledged $50 billion to the effort, which aims to double the share of global renewable energy by 2030... ... The U.S. share is $2 billion...

Double it? What a wonderful idea. No one else can make it cost effective so let's give money to Africa and see if they can do better. /s

How about food you idiot!!! Clean energy? What a buffoon!! They don’t need clean energy to power nothing they have. Food and housing after the military and government scrape off their fees.

Obama is such a kind and loving president to help the poor Africans clean up their energy. Let's give him another Nobel Prize!

What's $20 million compared to $5 Trillion anyway?

$20 million, isn’t that about 20 wind mills?

Given DumBO’s administrations propensity for green jobs, going out and collecting gnu pies to burn would be green energy jobs.

Clinton on Friday announced a $20 million partnership between the United States and African nations to boost clean energy projects.

Okay, but in a partnership there is bilateral benefit and enrichment.

What are we getting in return?

All I see is that we give money and they take it.
