More than $6.5 billion in taxpayer dollars have been wasted on Solyndra and 11 other green energy failures

Saturday, January 21, 2012 by: Ethan A. Huff

(NaturalNews) Just a few months ago, FBI agents raided the headquarters of now-bankrupt solar panel company Solyndra, which received more than half-a-billion dollars in federal stimulus funds as part of the federal government's green energy stimulus initiative. But according to a new investigation by CBS News, the Solyndra scandal is just the tip of the iceberg, as at least 11 other green energy companies have either already failed, or are on the verge of failing, taking with them more than $6.5 billion in taxpayer money.

The federal government has basically been on an unbridled spending spree for the past several years, pumping billions of taxpayer dollars into risky green energy start-ups that were huge financial risks, and that in some cases were obvious bad investments. And now that these companies are failing, everyone is asking whether or not those involved will be held responsible, and whether or not taxpayers will get their money back.

Sharyl Attkisson from CBS News writes that, besides Solyndra, four other green energy companies that received taxpayer stimulus funds have filed for bankruptcy in recent days, and many others are on the brink. These include Beacon Power, Evergreen Solar, SpectraWatt, and Eastern Energy, a subsidiary of AES.

According to Attkisson's analysis, Beacon Power, for instance, was already known to have had a dismally low bond rating before the government decided to hand over $43 million in taxpayer money. Standard & Poor (S&P) had allegedly given the company a confidential rating of "CCC-plus," which is the equivalent of a "junk" bond.

Another company, Nevada Geothermal, had indicated potential defaults in US Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings long before the Energy Department decided to give the company nearly $100 million in taxpayer money -- so why was it chosen to receive this cash infusion?

And First Solar, a company that BusinessWeek says was the "worst performer" on the S&P 500 Index in 2011, was awarded a whopping $3 billion in taxpayer money. A producer of thin-film solar panels, First Solar dropped 73 percent on the S&P index throughout the year, and also had to let its CEO go -- but the company reportedly spent millions lobbying the Obama administration prior to receiving its exorbitant grants.

All this mismanagement of taxpayer dollars, of course, can be traced directly back to the Obama administration's Energy Department, which not only carelessly invested the people's money without properly assessing the viability of the companies involved, but is also now neglecting to take responsibility for these behemoth failures that have ransacked the public purse.

The Energy and Light from Your Heart

Coherence: The Energy and Light from Your Heart

by Gregg Prescott, M.S.

Recent research has indicated that the human heart has its own brain, called neural intelligence. The energy signals that are transmitted from the heart to the brain is called coherence which, depending on how we feel, can affect us in either a positive or negative manner. For example, if you feel bliss, then your brain sends a signal that changes the chemistry and is reflected in the rest of your body. Conversely, fear will do the same in a negative manner. This is why you should avoid watching anything fear based, including horror movies and anything on the main stream media, especially the nightly news.

Research has also validated that the heart is the first organ that forms in our bodies and plays an important role in regulating our body chemistry.

Empirical data backs this amazing discovery! The heart’s magnetic field is more than 5,000 times stronger than the same magnetic field generated by the brain. In other words, when you feel really happy, then this emotion creates a presence that can be detected by other people several feet away from you!

As evidenced by electrocardiograms (ECG’s), the electrical field produced by the heart is 60 times greater than our brain’s electrical activity.

This is your central spark of divine light! When we learn how to live within the heart, we immediately bypass all forms of ego and materialism.

During meditation, focus on your heart’s energy. FEEL the love and send that love out as far and as wide as possible! In my meditations, I usually send the energy out in stages. I surround myself with it, and then protect my room, my house, my city, state, continent, galaxy and universe. A friend of mine envisions that she’s hugging the planet during her meditation. Feel free to use either idea, or create your own version.

When you live from your heart, then the only thing that can possibly exist is love!

The Energy of the Age of Aquarius

by Gregg Prescott, M.S.

What is the Age of Aquarius?

An astrological age lasts approximately 2,150 years and it follows the precession of the equinoxes. With 12 signs in the zodiac, it takes approximately 25,800 years to complete one full cycle through the signs. We are currently in the Age of Pisces and are transitioning into the Age of Aquarius.

Astrotheology

The bible can be viewed as a metaphor for astrotheology. When Moses brought back the commandments from god, his people were worshipping a golden calf, or in zodiac terms, the Age of Taurus. This was the transition point into the Age of Pisces, symbolized by the twin fish. As the story goes, Jesus fed 5,000 people with 5 loafs of bread and two fish. Both Jesus, the “sun/son” of God, and the fish represent the next 2,150 years in Christian theology. As the story continues, it was written, "Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters." This is the Age of Aquarius that is hidden in biblical metaphor.

We’ve all seen the car decals and bumper stickers that have the fish symbol. As we near the end of the Age of Pisces, we will most certainly see an increase in the water symbolism that represents the Age of Aquarius.

The Maya

The Mayan long count calendar lasts 5,126 years and completes 5 full cycles which total 25,630 years. It’s not a coincidence that these two systems are nearly identical in representing the number of years in a complete cycle. Other indigenous cultures also have the same “end date” so it’s important to look deeper into the significance of what these end dates mean.

Energy Signatures

Just like the aura of a person, each age has its own energy signature along with an accompanying theme or lesson. The energy signature of Aquarius is one that promotes Divine Order, truthfulness and all that is in the best interests of humanity. This is why the current, worldwide political corruption will come to an end soon, so it’s important not to focus too much of your own energy on their issues, because that’s the only energy that’s feeding them at this point in time.

The Transitioning Process

In the near future, there will be a “New World Order” but it won’t be called that, and it will work in the best interests of humanity. We are graduating to a Type 1 civilization and this is one of the reasons why we’re seeing so many UFO’s lately. They have arrived to welcome us as their galactic neighbors! These new energies of Aquarius are constantly increasing, which is also why we’re seeing an exponential growth in spiritual awareness.

These energies will be responsible for people looking inwards for answers versus externally, such as the belief that Jesus will save you. Religion played an important role in the previous belief systems of all cultures as a means for guidance, morality and faith, but the new energies will guide us to a more interpersonal connection with our creator Source that bypasses religion. Even the Roman catholic Church knows the truth, as evidenced by their last ditch efforts of trying to convert ET’s to Christianity. Surely, a higher form of intelligence wouldn’t fall for this. Imagine if they did? What would a higher form of intelligence use to “tithe” a church when they don’t rely on money? The Roman Catholic Church has no other option than to extend their hands to the ET’s because they’re already here and that, alone, will collapse religion and our current belief systems.

Within these energies, many truths will be “officially” disclosed, yet many people already know these truths. The lies and deception of all world governments will lead to their demise as well, because only the highest forms of energy will be able to continue to thrive in this new era.

Time Frame

The transition is already happening at a remarkable pace. Unfortunately, this won’t happen overnight as the energies are still transitioning, but it will happen in our lifetime. The next 5-10 years will show a complete collapse of the monetary system which is not needed for a Type 1 civilization. We’ll also see a restructuring of “governments” in the next 10-20 years where global tribunal councils will replace the “term government” systems. Religion will also be converted to spirituality, as more and more people turn inwards for their answers and reconnect with the divine source that’s inherent in all of us.

Those of negative influence and thoughts will not be able to survive very long in this new energy system. We will come to the realization that we are all connected as a group of star nations within our own planet and will view ethnicity and races much differently and in a positive manner when we truly discover the many planets of our human origin.

Congratulations!!!

Planet Earth is a “Universe”ity in which many star nations have come to learn these lessons, as well as to teach other higher forms of intelligence about how these star nations can get along with one another. The new energies of Aquarius will help to facilitate this change. Your current incarnation is your final exam and graduation is imminent!
