America's $100 Billion Climate Change Flop

America's $100 Billion Climate Change Flop - Stephen Moore
"For at least the last 20 years, politicians in Washington, at the behest of green energy groups, have spent some $100 billion of taxpayer money to fight climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 
How is that going for us so far?
  • A recent Associated Press story, based on the latest data on global carbon emissions, provides a pretty accurate report card: "Carbon Dioxide Emissions Reached a Record High in 2022."
...You've got to almost shriek out loud when you read this line: "Thursday's (IEA) report was described as disconcerting by climate scientists."
"Disconcerting"? 
That's putting it lightly. 
We are the furthest thing from being climate change alarmists, but when you spend $100 billion of taxpayer money and achieve absolutely nothing, President Joe Biden and his green allies should be arrested for criminal fraud.
  • Where did all the money go? 
Tens of billions of dollars have lined the pockets of left-wing environmental and social justice groups that have been emitting a lot of hot air but no results. 
Green energy companies have milked taxpayers of tens of billions more, even as wind and solar only produce about 12% of our energy.
  • Is this the greatest ripoff of U.S. taxpayers in history?...
