"A new book by Hoover Institution fellow Peter Schweizer details the startling extent of the cronyism that has pervaded President Obama’s “green jobs” push. According to Schweizer, 4 out of every 5 renewable energy companies backed by the Energy Department was “run by or primarily owned by Obama financial backers.”
"Those companies’ “political largesse is probably the best investment they ever made in alternative energy,” Schweizer explains. “It brought them returns many times over.”
"Such is the inevitable consequence of large government interventions in private markets."
We all are aware that corruption takes place within our government; but the extent of which is being revealed within this "transparent" administration is mindboggling.
I am looking for the report? I found exerpts from a book, but nothing about a report that we can see. Any more information?
The title of the book is "Throw Them All Out" by Peter Schweizer
I just copied the title of the link. Haven't read the book yet (new release today I believe.) I guess the report is within the book.
Well without the actual report to look at I can't really comment. I think the title of the thread should have been book alleges that ...etc, etc. Although I can't disagree that we should throw them all out and start fresh.

CLUE to the CLUELESS: If the majority of green companies are pro-environment that means they will back a Dem over a Repub every time. Since the government is trying to help green companies work on our future energy needs it is only logical that they would get funds from the government, the only difference is most Repubs would not invest in the future but would much rather give the gas and oil industries more money and tax breaks. I have bad news for ya, this attempt to attack the President only makes you look Partisan and more interested in political attacks than the future of Ameican and our energy needs.
Both sides reward who will get them re-elected.
You don't actually believe Obama ramming through loans to insolvent corps. is about the environment?
It's a useful conduit to convince stupid people that it's for the environment.
