The Dept. of Energy’s Energy Earthshots program is about the transition to fearless innovation, like the recent announcement for a ‘toaster’ utilizing Artificial Intelligence! The concept itself is so dumb that the manufacturer failed to take credit for being an Energy Star partner. Not since the EPA “certified” a gas-powered alarm clock has the government’s energy efficiency efforts looked so pitiful. It’s time Americans start asking about the actual cost for this type of ‘innovation’ because it shows how absolutely fearless the EPA has become in squandering untold billions of tax-payer dollars on their pathetic Energy Star® brand.
The Dept. of Energy set up the Energy Star program as a Public/Private partnership in 1992 while George H. W. Bush (R) was running for reelection in a 3-way Presidential race against Bill Clinton (D) and Ross Perot. Bill Clinton won that election. Then, by executive order in 1993, Clinton mandated the exclusive use of Energy Star products and services by every sub-division of the U.S. government.
The legal nature of that public/private partnership arrangement was kept secret from the public until around early 2023. And for a good reason. Average Americans would have questioned the math used by bureaucrats to value their new electrical commodity.
The EPA quietly certified Samsung’s ‘SmartThings’ as their first Smart Home Energy Management System (SHEMS) provider. Before claiming, “Americans nationwide can now save energy, save money and help the climate with the latest smart home technology.”. Just don’t ask how it works, or you may be labeled a science denier.
That easily provable lie wasn’t the only fraudulent claim being made by the EPA about their new SHEMS program. Any semi-competent security analyst, or even a halfway intelligent twelve-year-old kid, would have quickly understood that the EPA’s SHEMS program represented a genuine National Security risk. It can become the most significant international surveillance operation in world history.
You’re not supposed to question the logic that even the proverbial Village Idiot could have figured out in short order. Thirty years later, the bureaucrats are still marketing ‘smoke & mirrors’ as an innovative policy to Americans.
We had been told that the DOD, NSA, and the CIA conducted the peer-review process for the scientific research behind the Energy Star® brand, which the EPA claimed was a “certified” energy efficiency product. This was first presented to the public as a financial investment opportunity in the mid-1990s.
That’s when EPA’s experts first began claiming that the ‘imaginary’ electrical energy savings from their Energy Star brand could quickly pay for their premium-priced products through the massive savings on customers’ monthly electric bills. Those reductions in electric bills didn’t occur because their logo-branded products didn’t save extraordinary amounts of electricity.
That scam was shut down quickly by average Americans, using inexpensive electrical meters proving those claims were false. This should have been a clue to any honest person, but it wasn’t something worth considering to the officials at the EPA.
The pathetic ‘Settled Science’ being accepted by DOE & EPA was only getting worse, not better. Soon, their so-called experts were certifying products like a gas-powered alarm clock and a feather duster literally taped onto a fan that had been passed off as an energy-efficient air filter. All of that nonsense was hidden from the public because it would have undermined political support for the UN’s Kyoto Protocols.
In 1997, the U.S. Senate passed the Byrd-Hagel resolution in a 95-0 vote that effectively and officially ended our involvement in the Kyoto Protocol scheme. This really didn’t matter to the Spin Doctors, who continued to push a back-room plan to make “World Bank: the honest broker in the business of selling emissions.” Despite the Senate’s unanimous vote, globalists pretended their cronies wanted a carbon-credit trading system. One was controlled by players associated with the UN’s Green Industrial Program, set up in 2012.
Academics called this a “natural debt” owed by industrialized nations to UN bureaucrats that formed a “global market for greenhouse gas investments,” later becoming the World Bank’s Prototype Carbon Fund.
The Liar’s Club knew better than to allow a voice for Congress if the EPA would trick the public into believing they had invented products to reduce monthly electric bills. By 2015, Fake News outlets were acknowledging that EPA & DOE would need to ‘bypass Congressional approval’ to continue their corrupt ventures with foreign actors at the World Economic Forum.
We The People were never the ‘customers’ for any Dept of Energy’s programs or considered as such by any government official. The Energy Star program was formed as a Public/Private partnership in 1992, making electrical utilities their customers, including Public Utilities Districts and other large public agencies.
That shadowy partnership determined who could join their Billionaires Club and become beneficiaries of the various green schemes. Ironically, almost all endings are epic failures.
Many of those same ‘dark-money’ groups have ties dating back to the founding of the EPA by Richard Nixon (R). President Nixon was the anti-Communist crusader who had prosecuted the case against Alger Hiss, the State Dept. lawyer who was a Soviet spy who helped create the United Nations. Marxists used every dirty trick in the book to flip reality upside-down in an attempt to portray Sen. Joe McCarthy as the villain of the day.
Whittaker Chambers, a senior writer at Time Magazine, had reluctantly testified to Congress that Hiss was a member of an underground Communist group that he was also a part of in the 1930s. Chambers had provided microfilm he kept in a pumpkin (Pumpkin Papers) with images of State Department materials. It included notes in Alger Hiss’ handwriting, proving conclusively he was engaged in espionage.
Now, the Dept. of Energy and its silent Partners are ready to expand into Artificial Intelligence to advance their innovative product lines. Much like 2020, the 2024 Presidential elections will primarily be about completely suppressing those dumb Smart Grid policies. Which no elected representative is willing to defend in any manner to their constituents.
Will Time Magazine saviors simply apply the art of misdirection once again in 2024? Claim this is what democracy looks like to the upper class before demanding our government create a more cost-effective way for servants to prepare breakfast for their royal masters.
