As much as $16 trillion has been spent worldwide to defeat global warming. It could have been twice that, and it would never be enough because the climate hustlers need to keep the dollars rolling in to line their own pockets. Now we finally have an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chief who’s exposing the racket. [some emphasis, links added]
Testifying last week before a Senate committee, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin told lawmakers that the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a $27 billion stash that was created through the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act, is a con.
His office found that money that was supposed to have some environmental benefit has been funneled “to former Obama and Biden officials” as well as Democratic donors.
“The conflicts of interest that we saw … the amount of self-dealing, the unqualified recipients … (the) Climate United Fund CEO was a special assistant in the Office of Management and Budget during the Obama-Biden administration … they received $6.9 billion,” said Zeldin, who, as a rational skeptic of the climate narrative, is finally the right man for the job.
He also told the committee that a Biden-Harris climate adviser served on the Coalition for Green Capital’s board, joining in 2023 while the organization was applying for federal funds.
He also reported that the chief executive of Power Forward Communities served as Fannie Mae’s CEO during the Obama-Biden administration.
“If we had 10 more minutes,” said Zeldin, “I could just go through conflicts of interest.”
One assumes it might take more than 10 minutes. The global warming scare has been an ongoing grift, a bursting slush fund for the political left for some time.
After the hearing, Zeldin continued his most-welcome broadside, posting on X that he was “done with the likes of AOC, Al Gore, John Kerry, and the rest of the lying cabal that make stupid climate predictions, plunder tens of billions of tax dollars, enrich their well-connected allies, and are committed to strangulating out of existence entire sectors of our economy.”
He finished by declaring “The GREEN NEW SCAM is DEAD!!!”

“As much as $16 trillion has been spent worldwide to defeat global warming”
no more $10 trillion and that includes all the spending on EV’s
“The GREEN NEW SCAM is DEAD!!!”
Zelden
WRONG
the trump administration has
accelerated the green new deal
BIDEN
Net new capacity additions to US electric grids
2021 to 2024 –75% to 80% wind and solar
+ two large scale nuclear reactors in 2024
2024 – +66% year-over-year battery capacity
2024 – record EV sales
TRUMP
Net new capacity additions to US electric grids
2025 — 100% wind and solar
2026 — 93% est. wind and solar
2025 – +59% year-over-year battery capacity
2026 – +56% to +62% est. year-over-year battery capacity
2025 – EV sales 2% below 2024 record
2025 – 2028
NO large scale nuclear reactors
NO SMR’s
2026
gasoline is up $1.48 / gallon
(+49.7% in two months)
from$2.98 to $4.46 today
What’s your point Greene? I have more than once replied to your points about the green new deal. The projects that you point to regarding Trump were all in the pipeline prior to his election and with the stopping of government subsidies under the Trump administration these green scam companies had to accelerate their construction before the spigot was turned off.
Regarding gasoline prices, you know why they are up significantly in such a short time. And they will drop again once the Strait issue is fully resolved. But the current prices are still lower than the highest under Biden. As to no nuclear power plants being added to the grid, they don’t get built in a month (or even a year). But the Trump administration is working hard to get nuclear power restarted with the accelerating of approvals for modular reactor testing.
The first two years of trump’s four year term are greener than biden ever was
based on results, not wishful thinking
accelerating the construction of solar farms, wind farms
and batteries is nothing to brag about
the hormoz strait issue was caused by donald trump
and has not been resolved yet
it had never been a closed before in world history
no new nuclear reactors or SMR’s
will be connected to any electric grid
while trump is president
if biden had been president in 2025 and 2026 the conservatives would be very upset about the green spending … but while green construction expands under trump, not one word of
of criticism from those with trump worship syndrome … just excuses … blame joe biden BS
The national average price of a gallon of regular gasoline
in the United States is $4.48 … and as the strait remains closed the price could go higher
The highest national average price of regular gasoline during President Joe Biden’s term occurred in mid‑June 2022, when the average reached about $5.02 per gallon. The mid‑2022 gasoline spike was primarily a global oil‑market shock from the Ukraine war, compounded by pandemic‑era demand imbalances. Biden’s import ban on Russian oil and related refinery shifts added to the tightness in gasoline supply, but analysts emphasize that the Russia invasion and global market forces were the main drivers
comparing today with joe biden’s gasoline price peak is like comparing any recession with the 1929 recession and claiming it’s no big deal because it’s not as bad as 1929
I thought that perhaps you are just ignorant but now I you are showing that you are stupid. Do you not understand how long it takes to go from planning to implementation? The law to push the green crap on us happened half-way through Biden’s administration so little of it happened while he was president but were in the funnel for completion after he ignorably left office. Which happened under the Trump administration.
the 2022 inflation reduction act could have been rescinded the first mnth that trump was president by a simple majority vote of congress, in which republicans controlled both houses
congress could have stopped all wind and solar subsidies
within a few months of trump taking office
it took them five months and they decided
not to stop all subsidies
they decided to phase out subsidies
& that accelerated the wind, solar
and battery investment
if you have evidence that those investments
are complete waste of money, as i do,
then you stop them immediately
you do not accelerate them
as the republicans in congress did
which trump signed
republican cowards and nitwits
do not blame biden for this
there was no inflation reduction act vote by congress
trump did not ask congress to vote on the issue
Trump simply ignored the law
like the lawless dictator he has always been
that’s why trump is such an unpopular president
… as a result CO2 is still legally defined as a pollutant
for how many years are you going to blame biden
for trump’s failures?
Four years?
Again you are just showing your stupidity, repeating your same stupid comments.
