Excellent. If that solar array was subsidized, I suppose it’s better than sending the money to Ukraine.

I did get some tax credit on it. Which I hate, both because I hate the government messing with the free market, and because it artificially inflated the prices I paid up front. It takes years to get the full tax credit back in my tax refunds (because the tax credit is non-refundable, but does carry forward). Think of it as me paying my suppliers for the purchase of equipment, and the government making my loan my suppliers even more money, with the government paying me back the loan money in three yearly payments with no interest.

Obama and solar panel companies. How’d that work out? Same game. Same results. Taxpayers lose.

Electricity for EV charging stations should be limited to solar panels and windmills.

"Electricity for EV charging stations should be limited to solar panels and windmills."

LOL!! That would certainly do it. I've always said there would never be enough charging stations in this country if the government mandated that everyone drives an EV. This article proves it. They can't even made enough of them now. It's just another money-making scheme like everything RATS come up with.

You can build all the wells and hand pumps you want, but if there is no water under that pump, you are just pumping air.

That’s because dems don’t “throw” money directly to the alleged beneficiaries of their largesse. They set up orgs to distribute the money, and that’s where most of the money goes to vanish, among friends, family, donors, etc.

Why was even one built with taxpayer money? Aren't subsidies enough?

We've/taxpayers have already helped to make Elon Musk the richest man in the world with taxpayer funded subsidies,

You mean a government program, from a government that can’t sneeze without creating more graft and fraud, couldn’t even do something as simple as this?

I know... Let’s toss TWICE as much money at the issue. /DNC

It’s like the cash donated to most charities.

95% is siphoned off for salaries, “expenaes,” studies or spread around for permitting/payoffs or filtered thru several layers of procurement, construction and operational companies.

5% maybe erects chargers.

"Solyndra. Shovel ready jobs. Obama redux again."

Exactly. With RATS it's rinse and repeat, and they hope you won't remember that the last time they did it, it went bust. The main push for these types of projects (it's happened in NY State too, under Andrew Cuomo), they pump taxpayer dollars into them, rewarding their biggest donors with tax-breaks, grants and contracts, and then those projects fail, and the contractors who got the money and benefits, back out of the deals, and walk away Scott free. It's all a big scam.

I think the left is using the squanderlus to buy up land.

Then they are going to build apartments, and rent the apartments to everyone they made too poor to buy cars.

Like those “hives” they call apartment high-rises in Russia and China...

50 floors of 2-room apts...

15,000 peasants in each hive => happy ants...
