Surprising documents made available to this author reveal that Assistant Secretary of Energy Cathy Zoi has a huge financial stake in companies likely to profit from the Obama administration’s “green” policies.
Zoi, who left her position as CEO of the Alliance for Climate Protection — founded by Al Gore — to serve as assistant secretary for energy efficiency and renewable energy, now manages billions in “green jobs” funding. But the disclosure documents show that Zoi not only is in a position to affect the fortunes of her previous employer, ex-Vice President Al Gore, but that she herself has large holdings in two firms that could directly profit from policies proposed by the Department of Energy.

Al Gore sidekick Cathy Zoi is now Obama's Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
Among Zoi’s holdings are shares in Serious Materials, Inc., the previously sleepy, now bustling, friend of the Obama White House whose public policy operation is headed by her husband. Between them, Zoi and her husband hold 120,000 shares in Serious Materials, as well as stock options. Reporter John Stossel has already explored what he sees as the “crony capitalism” implied by Zoi being so able to influence the fortunes of a company to which she is so closely associated.

It's always amusing that the progressives are everything they accuse us Conservatives of being. They say we're energy spendthrifts, uncharitable, racist, our men use their positions of power to exploit women, and that we use government to enable our own corporate ends.
ReplyDeleteTo which I reply that they have Al Gore's energy consumption (which exceeds in a year what I'll put out in a lifetime), Joe Biden's charitable contributions (I give more in a year than he, and I don't make much money plus I'm not that generous with charities), the only sitting member of Congress that's a former KKK member (Robert Byrd), Bill Clinton's sexual exploitation of his secretaries, and Cathy Zoi's oversight of an industry from which she'll directly profit.
When will the general populace wake up and stop buying their bull?
Good point, Skipper. The left's constant projections of their own characteristics onto their opposition is something I've commented on repeatedly and will continue to. It's one of those things that has been causing confusion.
