The Biden administration seems determined to light a match to taxpayers’ wallets before the new sheriff rides into town. As he wraps up his term, President Biden is embarking on an extravagant spending spree focused on so-called “green” energy initiatives, and it’s raising quite a few eyebrows. Experts have stepped forward to lay some hard truths at the feet of the outgoing administration while providing sage advice for incoming President Donald Trump on how to clean up this fiscal mess.
Experts like H. Sterling Burnett, director at the Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy, have dubbed the Biden approach reckless and potentially dangerous. According to him, Biden’s climate spending is not just a waste of money but a direct threat to America’s economic stability and global standing. As they hurriedly finalize over 16 pending loans amounting to a jaw-dropping $25.1 billion, it’s evident that the only thing truly green in “green energy” is the cash boosted into climate alarmist enterprises. This spending run before Trump takes office certainly feels like an attempt to secure a legacy that will only benefit the already wealthy within the climate industry.

Steve Milloy, who served on Trump’s EPA transition team and is now a senior fellow in Energy & Environment policy, believes there is a silver lining. He expresses confidence that the Trump administration will take decisive steps to reclaim much of this squandered cash. Milloy also suggests the incoming President would do well to send a signal that those profiting from this extravagant spending should brace themselves for a serious investigation in case of wrongdoing. Following the red flags raised in a memo from the Department of Energy’s Inspector General, there’s hope that accountability may yet emerge from the smoke and mirrors of Biden’s funding frenzy.
The Inspector General’s memorandum spells out a prevalent problem where outgoing administrations feel the urge to load the boat with funds tied to personal political agendas. Biden’s case apparently stands out as particularly egregious given his efforts bolster his climate agenda, which, according to Burnett, compromises not only the U.S. economy but its positions on the global stage. With Communist China controlling the rare earth materials essential for these flashy new “clean” technologies and exploiting vulnerable populations in the process, Biden’s climate magic tricks come at a steep cost not just to American taxpayers but to moral integrity as well.
It’s a twisted irony that while Biden spends taxpayers’ money in a frantic final dash, Congress seems more interested in shoving through another irresponsible spending package rather than fortifying America’s economic landscape. The green energy gambit, often touted as the future savior of the environment, has been painted in stark colors as toxic, unreliable, and perhaps most egregiously, dependent on taxpayer subsidies. The chaos unleashed by the previous administration’s war on energy independence must be swiftly squashed, and only actions from Trump can usher in a new dawn of rationality and fiscal responsibility.
A swift reversal to the pre-Biden policies regarding climate spending shouldn’t just be an agenda item; it should be a rallying cry. There’s no climate crisis, just a climate movement built on sand, and it’s time for a solid foundation. With Trump at the helm, there is hope that the brakes will finally be applied on this reckless fiscal roller coaster. As he prepares to take office, the pressure to act decisively has never been higher.
