Editor’s Note – At the end of the day, the extent of corruption within our government is simply staggering.

The question here is how does this action benefit Harry Reid?  Of course, with the criminals in charge of creating the rules, it’s becoming almost impossible to follow the money, which only allows for more corruption.

With the death of journalism in America in the last decade, we also know we cannot count on the media to expose this corruption.

And, even when you can follow the money, as is the case with Nancy Pelosi and the many favorable actions taken to benefit her husband’s business, the American people still seem willing to tolerate it. 

Nearly $1/2 Billion of taxpayer money going to the Chinese…amazing.

Wind At Their Backs: Powerful Democrats Help Chinese Energy Firm Chase Stimulus Money

Top Democratic fundraisers and lobbyists with links to the White House are behind a proposed wind farm in Texas that stands to get $450 million in stimulus money, even though a Chinese company would operate the farm and its turbines would be built in China.

The farm’s backers also have close ties with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who, at the height of his hard-fought re-election bid this fall, helped blunt congressional criticism over stimulus dollars possibly going to create jobs in China by endorsing a proposal by the Chinese company to build a factory in his home state. Although his campaign received thousands of dollars in donations from the wind farm’s backers and Reid stood on stage with them at a campaign event they hosted, his office declined to answer any questions about the wind farm’s organizers or their plans for Nevada.

The wind farm, first announced more than a year ago, would consist of 300 2-megawatt wind turbines, each perched atop a 26-story-tall steel tower and spinning three blades — each half the length of a football field. The farm would span three counties and 36,000 acres in West Texas land best known for its oil. Dubbed the Spinning Star wind farm, the project’s 600-megawatt capacity is, theoretically, enough to power 180,000 American homes and would be the sixth- largest wind farm in the country.

It is being planned by an unusual joint partnership between the U.S. Renewable Energy Group, a Dallas investment firm with strong ties to Washington and the Democratic Party, and A-Power Energy Generation Systems, an upstart Chinese supplier of wind turbines. Filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission indicate the Chinese are bringing financing and the turbines.

What the Americans are supplying is the local know-how and political clout in Washington, where decisions on how to distribute billions in loan guarantees, stimulus grants and financial incentives are made.
