As the Biden administration seeks to launch a series of radical environmental proposals promising a government-subsidized new green future, it is important to remember: we’ve heard this song before.
Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) against the Office of Management and Budget and the U.S. Department of Energy seeking records of communications between Ron Klain, President Biden’s chief of staff, and bankrupt solar panel manufacturer Solyndra. Solyndra was one of the most prominent failures in the Obama-Biden administration’s attempt to force expensive alternative energy onto American consumers.
