Obama just spent another $120 million to shore-up a struggling solar energy boondoggle.

The $2.2 billion Ivanpah Solar project in the Mojave desert, already the beneficiary of 1.6 billion Energy Department dollars, and a $539 million grant from the Treasury Department, has been shown to be producing twice the carbon emissions allowed by Obama’s Cap-and-Trade debacle.

That’s because the plant relies on natural gas as a supplementary fuel. The sales pitch that got the plant approved said they would need about an hour a day of gas to optimize operations. They are actually using about 4.5 hours a day!

As an added bonus to the environment the operation fried 3,500 birds and displaced the entire desert tortoise population in the first year of operation.
