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.

I received an email from a friend in Ft. Worth Sunday pertaining to his elderly parents (80's) and the fact they had been contacted by a company wanting to put solar panels on their roof. He wanted to know if I knew anything about this since I live nearby.  Turns out, this is a common scam -- with the elderly as a target. See  here  , among others.

This update is as of 7:10pm Thursday, the first day of the conference. $4 Trillion!!! --- original posting --- I am presenting three articles over the next two days in advance of the gigantic global warming meeting in Dubai. They will help provide context in view of the often slanted coverage of the MSM. We often talk about how the primary sources of propulsion for the global warming movement are 1) power, and 2) cash ... with graft often lurking as part of #2. Here's the latest scam in the form of solar energy contracts. The title of the piece? The Green New Steal . Just this morning, Instapundit.com  published a piece on the Administration's graft  "green" energy loan department that 'invests' huge sums of our money in hugely risky enterprises (some run by politically well-connected individuals) many of which have failed .  While on the subject of graft, consider the giant climate meeting that begins in Dubai on Thu...

The wind may be calm and the turbine not turning but we keep paying for it -- on several levels.
