Newly received emails show how Biden plans on implementing the Green New Deal through a backdoor procedure whereby federal agencies declare that climate change is their responsibility, and that would allow Biden to spend trillions of dollars without ever getting congressional approval.
He has to fund the Green New Deal this way because there is no chance that such a spending bill would ever make it through congress.
Biden has called for $2 trillion dollars worth of “investments” in green energy in just four years. We went through this with the Obama/Biden stimulus and upon its passage we were promised millions of green jobs.
The problem is the jobs never materialized and much of the stimulus money was lost through guaranteed loans to green companies with no measurable improvement on climate change.
Here are the green company failures under Obama/Biden:
-Evergreen Solar ($24 million)*
-SpectraWatt ($500,000)*
-Solyndra ($535 million)*
-Beacon Power ($69 million)*
-AES’s subsidiary Eastern Energy ($17.1 million)

-First Solar ($1.46 billion)
-Babcock and Brown ($178 million)
-EnerDel’s subsidiary Ener1 ($118.5 million)*
-Amonix ($5.9 million)
-National Renewable Energy Lab ($200 million)
-Fisker Automotive ($528 million)
-Abound Solar ($374 million)*
-A123 Systems ($279 million)*
-Willard and Kelsey Solar Group ($6 million)
-Johnson Controls ($299 million)
-Schneider Electric ($86 million)
-Brightsource ($1.6 billion)
-ECOtality ($126.2 million)
-Raser Technologies ($33 million)*

Now, Biden wants to invest in MOTS. (More of the same)
From the Wall Street Journal:
Consultants referred by Mr. Goffman told the AGs that regulating CO2 as a criteria pollutant wouldn’t fly. But they proposed using ozone NAAQS as what one called a”backdoor.” Fossil fuel combustion, motor vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions contribute to ozone. So the EPA could make states reduce CO2 emissions by tightening ozone standards. States might have to outlaw natural gas-powered appliances, gas stations and internal combustion engines to meet stricter ozone standards.
Any climate legislation Congress enacts will no doubt contain a potpourri of green energy subsidies, but Democrats won’t be able to use budget reconciliation to banish fossil fuels. As former EPA official John Bachmann wrote in an email to New York’s Office of Attorney General, “New legislation requiring specific actions would be much better than NAAQS, and yet I’m mindful of the obvious problem of how to get such legislation even with a new administration.” Other climate consultants agreed.
