California advocates wanted to provide solar panels to 1 million low-income housing residents. After ten years, the state is more than 900,000 short of that goal.
I am not sure if it is possible, but every group that receives money on an initiative that does not directly spend money on the initiative should be sued for fraud and get the money back with damages. Aren't there any "ambulance chasing" attorneys that can use their skills to benefit taxpayers?
I'm not a lawyer but most lawyers would not want this case. It will be protracted with many appeals and require a lot of depositions and time spent investigating the situation. And time is money. And the payout may not be much because the judges side with these groups and will then also discriminate against you in other tort cases.
Austen describes the Democratic Party playbook: fund dubious NGO’s, unions and special interests that will carry water for your agenda (and fund your campaign). Rinse and repeat. They grow their tent by dividing people (BLM), supporting fringe positions (trannie surgery for minors, men in women’s sports), opening the border and scapegoating (anti-Zionism). It’s an ecosystem where many grow rich and some settle for merely feeling virtuous. But as for the country overall, it’s disastrous policy. I’ve seen unaccountable cronyism firsthand in Africa and Latin America, and it’s the foundation for all the failed communist experiments. Never worked, never will.
True and unfortunately growing. The left gets bigger every year. The temporary effects of Trump are just that: temporary. DEI will be back as soon as they get control again.
Let’s call out the actual game. Progressive funding to government agencies, who fund NGO’s, who funnel money back to the political apparatus , and aim to bring down our constitutional republic, and replace it with their French Revolution style insanity.
Near the beginning this article said the goal was 300 megawatts by 2030 and that it had reached 129 megawatts. This metric looks like they will be 50% toward the goal, if I understand it, which is way short but better than the California high speed rail fiasco or the Buttagieg/Biden EV station catastrophe.
I was wondering if there is a mistake and 129/300 though dismal is too good to be true in CA.
Maybe the loophole is that it says “installed or reserved” and it depends on when/if the “reserved” stuff is installed…(?)
I left California due to high energy prices and the pressure to put solar on your rooftop. Why the government dims the sun, you gotta be a moron to put solar on your roof with what’s going on in the world.!
Thanks Chris. I have refused solar panels here in SoCal because #1. They are ugly. I have a beautiful red tile roof. #2. I can pay for my energy easily. #3. I don't want any Government to tell me what to do.

Sounds suspiciously like the Biden/Buttigieg EV charging station plan…

I’m afraid you’re probably right.
Just curious, how much money has Tom Steyer made off these solar initiatives?
CHRIS, If I can impart two pieces of wisdom to your audience:
1) If your boss says do you have a minute, it’s never good
2) Beware of those you come to help.
There is nothing more dangerous than the sanctimonious do-gooder.
Somehow, their programs do little good but GENERATE a lot of cash for the insiders and their friends.
HL Mencken said that politicians rarely leave office without “their jeans stuffed full of money.”
Nowhere is that more evident than in California. In fact, they don’t even try to hide their corruption…. It’s a badge of honor.

The left: a social disease.
