How well did the green economy work under Joe’s previous boss? Didn’t they piss away at least $50-90 billion with their Stimulus? It’s hard to know the exact number, but, one word: Solyndra.
Joe Biden Admits He Is Ready to Sacrifice Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs for Greener Economy
Former Vice President Joe Biden admitted that he was ready to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of jobs to create a greener economy on Thursday.
Biden was questioned by moderator Tim Alberta during the PBS/Politico Democrat presidential debate on Thursday about his clean energy proposals.
“As president, would you be willing to sacrifice some of that growth, even knowing potentially that it could displace thousands or hundreds of thousands of blue-collar workers in the interest of transitioning to the greener economy?†Alberta asked.
This won’t show up in a Trump ad, right? Because he would never do that, right?
“The answer is yes,†Biden said. “The answer is yes because the opportunity for those workers to transition to high paying jobs is real.â€
Biden argued that the government could invest dramatically in making homes more energy-efficient and produce batteries to store energy.
He argued that more government spending and regulations could help transform the country into a cleaner energy future.
“We shouldn’t build another new highway in America that doesn’t have charging stations on it,†he said.

Oh, charging stations for the upper class who can afford EVs that cost well over $100k. And, of course those jobs are high paying, if we look back to the stimulus. The cost per job was, depending on the source, at least $278K. Some estimates go as high as $4.1 million. Because the taxpayers funded them. Not that the workers saw that money. But, hey, you’ll lose your job and can get trained to install insulation….oh, wait, Democrats want unfettered illegal immigration, so, they’ll take those low skill jobs. All so Government can control the economy.
FOR THE ENVIRONMENT!!!!!
By all means, let’s produce multitudes of solar panels, wind mills and batteries that cause lots of toxic waste to produce, use child/slave labor to mine the materials, only last 20 or so years, create a disposal nightmare and uses massive amounts of cleared land to install.
These people are idiots and the ones that believe them are even bigger idiots.
Not entirely on topic, but we have news this AM the Hildabeast pledges to help Democrats “retire the incumbent”.
So they might as well give up now.
Didn’t she end up having 3 million more votes than Trumper
No, because she had at least 7 million fraudulent votes.
Fraudulent votes don’t count.
In any case, she lost.
Solyfna was a bad investment
However of the total investment made to those high risk companies 97% of the loans were repaid and the interest charges paid for the remaining bad loans
Why didn’t you also mention that ?
Also please remember that it was Obama and the Dems that stopped GM from going bust
Look how that turned out ?
“However of the total investment made to those high risk companies 97% of the loans were repaid and the interest charges paid for the remaining bad loans”
That’s not true. And what is it with “97%” and leftists? You always pick 97% as some magic figure proving some nonsense assertion. 97% of scientists, 97% of green loans, 97% of illegals. Pick a new number that one’s worn out.
Yeah, look. GM is still a basket case, a lot of dealers were cheated, a lot of money was thrown away (let’s talk about Zippy’s deficits, shall we?), and the economy didn’t improve until Trump was elected.
However of the total investment made to those high risk companies 97% of the loans were repaid and the interest charges paid for the remaining bad loans</i.
You have a link to back up all this nonsense, right?
Solyfna????
He’s drinking in the John again.
What about all these on listed on this page. Looks like way more than just Solyndra was a bad investment.

Funny that they call it a “short” list. I stopped counting at 60.
Wow, that’s an impressive list of fuk-ups. The entire scam of the climate cult is to get your money, eliminate your freedoms and control your life.
Tech companies aren’t for the faint of heart. How many tech companies were created during that same period? Many in the list were bought out. What percentage went bankrupt? 1%? 0.1%? 2%? What percentage of Trump’s casinos went bankrupt?
Only the ones at AC. How many other companies’ casinos went bust?
Or are we just here to try to change the subject now that it’s patently obvious impeachment is a disaster for the Demos?
And being bought out is not a bad thing. Usually means you were doing something right.
That said, there are tech companies and there are fly-by-night outfits trying to make a buck off the global idiocy scam.
Trumps casinos weren’t financed with our tax money, idiot.
No disrespect, idiot, but if you had read the article you would have noted that almost all the tech companies listed were financed by VCs. We guess you could argue that because of tax shenanigans the VC investments are financed in part with tax money. Which investors did trump fuk over when “his” companies went bankrupt?
*Trump has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy for his companies six times. Three of the casino bankruptcies came during the recession of the early 1990s and the Gulf War, both of which contributed to hard times in Atlantic City, New Jersey’s gambling facilities.
He also entered a Manhattan hotel and two casino holding companies into bankruptcy.
Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows companies to restructure or wipe away much of their debt to other companies, creditors, and shareholders while remaining in business but under the supervision of a bankruptcy court.*
*Trump said: “I have used the laws of this country just like the greatest people that you read about every day in business have used the laws of this country, the chapter laws, to do a great job for my company, my employees, myself and my family.â€
It was reported in 2016 that Trump “put up little of his own money, shifted personal debts to the casinos and collected millions of dollars in salary, bonuses, and other payments.”
“The burden of his failures,” according to the newspaper, “fell on investors and others who had bet on his business acumen.”*
“It was reported” does not mean the contention is fact. And which newspaper is this according to? Or is this just another dodge to make your lies look the tiniest bit more credible?
And would you care to tell us what a VC is, besides a Commie murderer?
In any case, Trump’s bankruptcies have nothing to do with the fly-by-night phony climate companies
Which investors did trump fuk over when “his†companies went bankrupt?
Care to tell us or, as I suspect, there weren’t any.
As always, you just blather on without any real facts to back you up.
Since we’re kicking the Lefties’ asses at every turn, let’s go one step farther.
Remember when Jeffery just about wet himself when VA’s House of Burgesses went Demo, thanks to an off-year turnout and a lot of money spent by Bloomie?
Well, just like impeachment, this is turning into a Pyrrhic victory.
Did you know 90% of VA’s counties have rebelled against KKK Governor Northam and declared themselves 2nd Amendment sanctuaries in defiance of his anti-firearm policies?
And it’s spread to Illinois, Washington, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, New Jersey, Florida, and Tennessee, with Kentucky coming on board.
How many of those states could go Trump next year?
Now Jeffery loves to tell us how the military and police would march in lockstep if a President ordered.
Some of the new VA psychotics have suggested calling out the National Guard and law enforcement.
If you’ve been reading the news the last few days, you’ve seen a lot of articles about how police, sheriffs, and National Guardsmen are saying they will not do such a thing.
As far as using the VA ARNG is concerned, it would also be illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act.
Lessee now, Illinois, Washington, Colorado, New Mexico, Virginia, and New Jersey would give Trump an additional 60 electoral votes, and then there’s MN, NH, and ME with another 18.
VA rebelled in 1775 and reluctantly in 1861. Th’ Ol’ Dominion leads the nation again.
Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten, (Alt Original: Cinnamon seed and sandy bottom,)
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land, where I was born in,
early on one frosty mornin’,
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land.
I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I’ll take my stand
to live and die in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie
The South shall rise again.
