Another dud in federal battery program

THANK YOU PRES. OBAMA Another dud in federal battery program Taxpayer dollars pay employees to volunteer at local nonprofits, play games and watch movies.” #GREENFAIL: Another dud in federal battery program. “President Barack Obama used his fifth State of the Union address to extol the virtue and job-creating power of federal investment in solar, wind and advanced battery development. Maybe he should have consulted his Department of Energy first. In a scathing report issued Wednesday, the department’s Office of Inspector General said LG Chem Michigan Inc. misused most of $150 million in federal grants to build its battery cell manufacturing plant in Holland. The company used taxpayer dollars to pay employees to volunteer at local nonprofits, play games and watch movies.” And, effectively, to vote Democratic. I’ll bet they delivered on that one.
