Concerns About Climate Graft

We've frequently talked about how global warming, while being a real issue, has been increasingly exploited for those seeking power and money. 

On the international front, we've just learned that between $26 and $41 billion dollars have gone missing. 

The Washington Post is hardly a conservative publication yet even it has had to cover the many billions that were appropriated for electric vehicle charging stations (top of page) that have purchased almost nothing. This is not to be confused with the $42 billion program for rural internet which has connected zero people. 

Big Climate exists to skim as much money as possible from these programs and, since most reporters and asssignment editors are liberal, they don't wish to dig into this deep corruption because it would make "their side" look bad. 

Regardless of politics, the United States -- once the "land of opportunity -- is increasingly being strangled by its federal deficit. We simply cannot afford to throw these many tens of billions away, regardless of the party in power. Money for climate should be subject to increasingly strict cost-benefit tests.
