Green Energy Waste on the Taxpayer Dime

AFP - Arkansas: $550,000 in Federal stimulus funds was used to furnish a new State government office building in Little Rock, Arkansas with solar panels in 2010. It's been two years and the panels still haven't been turned on.

The government spent over half a million dollars on what has turned out to be no more than expensive decoration. Even the Dept. of Energy Inspector General has cited problems leading to "less than optimal performance" from stimulus funded programs.

Think of what that money could have been used for if we had been able to stimulate the economy ourselves. Hardworking taxpayers have sacrificed enough. It's time to end wasteful spending. [ArkansasFuture.com]
