Obama Administration: You know what's an earth-friendly green-auto component? Steel

‘Green’ Steel Giveaway - By Henry Payne - Planet Gore - National Review Online

But there’s the larger question: When, asks Issa, did Obama’s Department of Green-Tech Winners and Losers start classifying steel as a green-auto component?

The Energy Department’s explanation — that steel production supports 260 jobs and 2,500 more in the construction industry — sounds more like a jobs program than “advanced technology research.”

Indeed, like the bailed-out GM and Chrysler, the White House seems to be motivated more by sustaining an industry with Big Labor ties (United Steelworkers Union represents Severstal workers).

Your tax dollars at work.
