Added to the problems of political promotion of renewable energy crime, corruption, and special interests is the decades of information suppressed regarding the direct 260-year impact of both human and natural carbon dioxide emissions and direct impact of natural methane emissions. Arctic Region methane and carbon dioxide emissions have been increasing since 1750 CE to the point of noticeable human induced global warming impact. The combination of natural and human greenhouse gas accumulations influences global temperature increase produces a clear “thumbprint” of human impacts on climate change. A positive temperature regenerative feedback loop was and continues to be established within Arctic Region methane. Coincidentally the global carbon budget is reaching a 2017 CE saturation point. Unless there is a quick and effective political response to combined atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide and methane, there result a global warming temperature increase that terminates human life 2050-2099 CE.
White collar political criminal activity has a long history within the U.S. Its activity rises and falls with political supplies of legislated funding. To one degree or another politicians are aware of political corrupting of the legislation system, but turn away from correcting (or reporting) criminal activity. Because government white collar crimes are part of political systems, prostitution for internal sponsored political fraud is difficult. For politicians it is better to sleep with criminals than it is act against self interests or come out and act for the best interests of humanity.
Renewable green energy is about US$ 90 billions within the ‘American Recovery and Reinvestment Act’ (ARRA 2009). Renewable energy legislated “Stimulus” is systemically flawed; criminal monies are non recoverable; funding is (mostly) legally legislated and processed. Political white collar crime has been around longer than U.S. criminal mafia activity, and before the 1980s rise of the U.S. illegal drug industry. U.S. illegal drug industry is backed by drug cartels and has U.S. political support. Concealment and billions of dollars in money laundering of political white collar crime uses similar procedures as used by organized crime: front companies, legal companies, international trading, bank transfers, poor/fraudulent contracting, kickbacks, over charging, collusion, redundant funding, systems of government non accountability, etc. Multinational carbon cap-and-trade markets are trading paper, which requires that the whole political European-U.S. system of renewable green energy to be investigated.
Since the 1990s, wind, solar, geothermal, and alcohol fuels (corn ethanol) are developed as corruption schemes for politicians to channel US$ 100s of billions dollars government money to special interests while controlling political special interest US$ trillions within national hydrocarbon economies. The pretext is that renewable energy investments are a solution to global warming temperature increase. For more than three decades the pretext for not building nuclear facilities is that nuclear facilities are “unsafe.” The reality is green energy, hydrocarbon energy, and political special interests destroyed human races while nuclear energy could save human races.
U.S. Global Warming Foundation Legislation
UN’s ‘Earth Summit’ formed the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1992. The UN Kyoto Protocol is an agreement of UNFCCC. Significant U.S. legislated with presumed support of the 1992 UN Earth Summit: U.S. ‘Energy Policy Act’ (1992), ‘Energy Policy Act’ (2005), and ‘American Recovery and Reinvestment Act’ (ARRA 2009).
Example of Direct and Indirect Energy Funding Impacts
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) review of the conference version of the 2005 bill estimated the ‘Energy Policy Act’ would “increase direct spending” by $2.2 billion over the 2006-2010 periods and by $1.6 billion over the 2006-2015 periods. In addition, the CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation estimated that the legislation would “reduce revenues” by $7.9 billion over the 2005-2010 periods and by $12.3 billion over the 2005-2015 periods. Energy Policy Act total direct and indirect costs are many billions. The CBO noted that the bill could have “additional effects on discretionary spending,” but did not attempt to estimate those effects. That was for a Congressional relatively small budget bill compared to the mother of funding bills, the ‘American Recovery and Reinvestment Act’ (ARRA 2009).
Some ‘American Recovery and Reinvestment Act’ (ARRA) 2009 Renewable Green Energy Examples of Concern
The act, described by proponents as an attempt to combat growing (undefined) energy problems, changed US energy policy by providing tax incentives and loan guarantees for energy production of various non standard types. The rationale for ARRA was from Keynesian macroeconomic theory which argues that, during recessions, the government should offset the decrease in private spending with an increase in public spending in order to save jobs and stop further economic deterioration. In the case of Keynesian-global-warming, U.S. legislation transferred wealth without producing a product that can decrease the global temperature increase.
● $6 billion for renewable energy and electric transmission technologies loan guarantees for solar, wind, and “smart national grid.”
● $6 billion for the cleanup of radioactive waste (mostly nuclear weapons production sites). This $6 billion useless spending and is a promotion of anti nuclear corruption and payoffs to PORK BARREL political special interests.
● $4.5 billion to the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE) as outlined in the legislation.
● $4.5 billion to increase energy efficiency in federal buildings (GSA)
● $3.25 billion for the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) for power transmission system “smart grid.” Political power transition is intended to expand the hydrocarbon industry.
● $3.25 billion for the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) for power transmission system (smart SYNCHROPHASOR western grid)
● $3.4 billion for carbon capture and low emission coal research
● $3.2 billion toward Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants
● $3.1 billion for the State Energy Program to help states invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy.
● $2 billion funding for manufacturing of advanced car battery-traction systems and components.
● $800 million funding for biofuel research, development, and demonstration projects
● $602 million is to support the use of energy efficient technologies in buildings and within industry.
● $400 million funding for the Geothermal Technologies Program (GTP)
● $400 million for electric vehicle technologies
● $300 million for state and local governments to purchase energy efficient vehicles
● $300 million to acquire electric vehicles for the federal vehicle fleet (GSA)
● $204 million is insignificant funding for research and testing facilities at the well managed U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratories and Technology Centers.
● $190 million in funding for wind, hydro, and other renewable energy projects
● $115 million is part of billions of dollars to develop and deploy solar power technologies in the solar panel industry.
● $110 million is for the development of high efficiency vehicles.
The 2009 CE left Democrat Congress legislated ARRA 2009 as a blank check to be filled in by President Obama. There is to be an in depth accounting of the more than US$ 90 billion 2009-2010 CE global warming renewable energy expenditures and performance.
Tempus Fugit
Left Democrat administration continues to tinker with government departments’ data and the reporting of national energy and global warming. All U.S. federal government data and reporting are now considered unreliable. Much of university and college global warming R&D is controlled by left Democrats through control of state and federal government grants and funding. Colleges, universities, and government departments’ reporting is considered unreliable when it comes to left Democrat foundation topics and social history. The Internet has and is being falsified to favor the causes of left Democrats. Internet attacks are mounted against individuals whose expressed options that conflict with established political funding procedures. Media corporations are extremely politically biased, oriented to presenting the public with unrealistic biased views. A significant amount of left Democrat smoke and mirrors political misdirections has been directed at building up U.S. special interest funding for expanding “renewable alternative green energy.” In effect, since the early 1990s, left Democrat leadership are the cause of delaying real global warming responses.
With the exception of expanding nuclear power, all other U.S. national energy proposals and policies are NOT viable. U.S. and global energy policies simply do not reflect real clean energy needs and real energy growth demands. Life-cycle process of all human energies (except nuclear energy and hydroelectric) emit large amounts of human carbon dioxide and natural methane.
Since first global warming awareness of the 1960s, a great deal of necessary response time has passed, but there is still hope for changes to global warming temperature increase. Politicians just have to soon find the time and funding to alter established global warming course of events.
