Gas prices are skyrocketing again, but that's not all you have to worry about this week — now your tax dollars are going towards a multi-billion dollar bailout for failing green energy companies.

The Department of Energy announced its latest scheme last Friday. Once the news came out on Monday morning, I couldn't help but wonder why we always find these things buried in footnotes and press releases at 5 o'clock on a Friday afternoon. This is not the first time — and certainly won't be the last.

What's really happening here? You're looking at another multi-billion dollar handout for companies that can’t make it without government support, all while millions of regular folks struggle to pay their bills every month. Let me break this down: these green energy outfits have been promised subsidies and tax breaks since the Obama-era, but they still can't cut it in a real market.

Now, here's the kicker — the buried number is that this bailout isn’t just for today or tomorrow; it's an ongoing commitment. They're not telling you this on CNN, but taxpayers are going to be funding these companies year after year with no end in sight.

Why does nobody talk about this? Because they want us to think green energy is a success story when the real story is that it’s another expensive failure that's sucking up taxpayer dollars like a black hole. But who cares, right? These are politically connected firms getting sweetheart deals at your expense.

This bailout isn't just going to strain our wallets; it's also hurting real competition and innovation in the energy sector. Small businesses and entrepreneurs with great ideas don't stand a chance when big companies get government checks every month.

And let’s not forget, previous Democrat administrations had similar plans, promising jobs and clean energy miracles but delivering little more than budget-busting bailouts. Now it's happening again under Biden-era rule.

The real question is: who benefits from this? It certainly isn't you or me. It’s the big players in green energy getting to sit back and relax while we pay their bills.

So, what can we do about it? Protect yourself and protect your family. Start by looking at where your money is going — not just in taxes but also in utility costs that keep climbing as companies rely more on these expensive green energy schemes.
