US Treasury Finally Scrutinizing the Making of Payments
The Democrats howling, moaning, groaning is about their misdeeds being discovered.
All those people that were sucking of the federal-money tit are sucking no more
.
Democrats are also upset about the likely discovery of even more misdeeds, which puts an end to/slows down their games and gravy trains.
.
The chaos you see in the US is partially due to millions of Democrats and organizations/NGOs no longer getting blank checks from the US Treasury, as they did under Secretary Yellen
.
US Treasury Dealing with “Payment Requests”
Elon Musk's DOGE was flabbergasted to discover 1) the lack of tying payments to approved budgets had been going on for decades, and 2) the lack of routing numbers.
.
The US Treasury has a new, competent Secretary, who rationally requires any payment request to have:
1) A line item of the law that authorizes it (if no money is left, no payment is made), and
2) A routing number indicating the recipient name and bank account number (if the recipient appears shady, no payment is made).
.
Many Democrat bureaucrats are no longer bothering to make “payment requests” to the US Treasury.
In due time, that will finally reduce federal budget deficits.
.
Subsidizing the Corporate Media
The federal government was buying tens of thousands of high-priced subscription services from the Corporate Media, which acted as a subsidy.
In turn, the Media provide near 100% favorable treatment for Biden Democrats, 100% unfavorable treatment for Trump Republicans. Almost all those subscriptions were cancelled.
Musk’s DOGE Group
Much more fraud, waste and abuse has been found, exposed, and recommended to be terminated by a group of very intelligent, mostly young people, headed by Elon Musk, who has taken a step back to concentrate on his businesses.
DOGE found about $160 billion of waste, fraud and abuse within about 100 days.
The money was taken back, and reduced the US national debt

The UK, Germany, Spain, France, etc., in Deep Wind/Solar Do-Do
The Conservative and Labor elites, using the foghorn of the government-subsidized/controlled Corporate Media, brainwashed the people to vote for them for decades.
.
Expensive Wind and Solar Systems
Now the over-taxed, over-regulated people are paying through the nose for electricity and HP heating and EV driving at very high c/kWh, to pay for all sorts of highly subsidized, expensive wind and solar systems that disturb the grid with weather-dependent, variable, intermittent electricity, which has caused expensive brownouts/blackouts, as in Spain/Portugal, and many other places, over the years.
If too much wind/solar power, it needs to be curtailed; Owners still get paid for what they could have produced.
If too little wind/solar power, other generators need to increase outputs to meet demand.
Synchronous Inertia Stabilizes the Grid
Closing down traditional plants (nuclear, gas, coal, hydro), with rotating generators that provide SYNCHRONOUS inertia, de-stabilizes the grid; a death sentence for the grid.
Wind and solar systems provide ZERO SYNCHRONOUS inertia, because their outputs are digitized, then reconstituted into an artificial sine wave with the same phase and frequency as the grid.
.
Reactive Power
No AC grid can operate without reactive power
The weather-dependent, variable/intermittent, wind/solar feed-ins to the grid often create transmission faults.
Those faults can be minimized with synchronous condenser systems to provide reactive power TO the grid.
Wind and solar take reactive power FROM the grid
All traditional power plants provide reactive power TO the grid
.
Any energy systems analyst would know Spain/Portugal-like problems would eventually happen, before a single wind and solar system were connected to the grid, but naive, woke, non-technical enviros do not want to listen to the pros.
Full speed ahead over the cliff, you go, unless all this wind, solar, battery nonsense is stopped dead by taking away the overly generous subsidies.
.
Net Zero to reduce CO2 by 2050 is a very expensive suicide pact.
We need higher CO2 ppm in the atmosphere for increased greening of the world, to support abundant fauna, and to increase crop yields to feed 8 billion people.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
