Crescent Dunes: Biden DOJ Moved on Election Night to Cover Up Alleged Solar Energy Scandal that Cost Taxpayers Hundreds of Millions
The article discusses a controversial decision by the Biden administration's Justice Department (DOJ) to dismiss a qui tam lawsuit regarding the failed Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project in Nevada, which allegedly cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. This decision occurred shortly before the presidential election, raising suspicions of a cover-up to protect the administration's green energy initiatives. The project, backed by the Obama administration with $737 million in loans, aimed to harness solar energy but went bankrupt in 2020 due to operational failures, including environmental issues and lack of profitability, leading to claims that the taxpayer money was misused.
The lawsuit, filed by CMB Export, LLC on behalf of the U. S. government, was initially allowed to proceed by the DOJ but was then abruptly dismissed just after the election, when it appeared that Republican Donald Trump would reclaim the presidency. This action by the DOJ has prompted inquiries from Congress, particularly from Representative Carol Miller, who requested explanations about the reversal, highlighting concerns over accountability for taxpayer funds.
The piece suggests that the dismissal of the lawsuit could significantly impact the Trump administration's energy policies and operations across various federal agencies, including Justice, Energy, and Interior, which deal with funding and regulating green energy projects. There is a growing demand for transparency and answers concerning the handling of taxpayer investments in solar energy projects like Crescent Dunes.
