But even if they did that does not mean that green energy is just a boondoggle for "bundlers" (what are bundlers?). This list screams of "right-wing propaganda". Please post a link to where you found it.
The US government has also given tax breaks and loans to fossil fuel companies that have filed for bankruptcy. Does that mean the fossil fuel industry is a boondoggle also?
None of this has anything to do with the comment I made about the need for clean energy and the value of the EPA.
You made the claim that there were no payoffs to bundlers. Obviously your wrong. Obamacare was the same way .... Bundlers quickly formed insurance companies to put in exchanges so they get the subsidies from the gov.

Never said that at all.
I just said that was not the main reason to promote green energy.
BTW what are "bundlers" and where did you get that list?

The market is controlled by insurance companies that were already in place.

Johnson Controls has been around long before the omnibus scam. I'm sure that was just a quick cash grab that they could not refuse..
Most of those others are just like 'Lucie was saying, total B.S.
Johnson Controls was just one that I recognized immediately.
Babcock and Brown went belly up before Obama was even in office.
The whole list is a joke. Just more right wing propaganda that only rubes would fall for.

They have been Infigen since 2003..

And Infigen has never filed for bankruptcy.
More proof that the list is total BS propaganda.
Thanks for the help.

And you have no idea what we are talking about. The info you just posted helped my side of the argument.
