Solargate: Navy forced to purchase biofuel even though it is nine times more expensive

  I have written several posts on the Solargate scandal and Barack Obama’s misuse of the stimulus money to promote his radical “green energy initiative.” The same “green energy initiative” which just happens to line the pockets of major Democrat contributors and protects their investments and allows them to funnel the money back into the campaign coffers of Democrats while leaving the American taxpayers on the hook for the loses once the companies fail. Well, its been awhile since we have heard anything about Solargate, but it is back again and this time it involves the Navy.

  Because of the predicted failure of the Super Committee $500 billion in cuts to military spending were triggered and what does the Obama regime decide to do when the military is trying to decide where to make these mandated cuts? They are moving forward with their plan to purchase 450,000 gallons of biofuel for the jet fighters.

  This wouldn’t be a problem if it weren’t for two things; first, this fuel isn’t readily available on the frontlines if the planes were called to action, and second; the biofuel is nine times more expensive than regular jet fuel. It would seem to me that as the military was looking at places to start cutting its budget the biofuel program would be a logical starting point, for we are adding costs to the price of fuel when we could keep these costs the same and everything would remain unaffected. Because the Obama regime is moving forward on this plan and fuel costs are going to increase nine fold the Navy will have to look at making cuts in other areas.

  So why is the Navy moving forward with this cost prohibitive plan when they are charged with finding budget cuts? The Navy is purchasing its new biofuel from a company called Solazyme and–stop me if you’ve heard this one before–Solazyme just happened to receive almost $22 million in stimulus money. Granted $22 million is a mere pittance to the Obama regime when taken in consideration with the other companies involved in the Solargate scandal, but $22 million is still quite a bit of money for the government to spend on a failing company.

  But wait, there’s more: Solazyme has a “strategic advisor” under its employ who goes by the name of T.J. Glauthier, and Mr. Glauthier just happens to have–you guessed it–ties to Barack Obama. Glauthier was a member of Barack Obama’s transition staff and was charged with finding energy companies to spend stimulus money on. PERFECT, what another unbelievable coincidence!
