Podesta’s ‘Green Company’ Forced to Close Because Hillary Lost the Election

The approach with the most promise involves attaching generators to perpetual motion machines, but using Words of Power to summon energy-rich demons may also work. The green in the term refers to the vast number of greenbacks that have been thrown at the problem since 1973 with indifferent results...

lost the 2016 election.

When the 2016 presidential election ended, senior company executives admitted the prospects for their renewable energy "biofuels" company evaporated. "We had a lot of prospects last year," former Joule CEO Brian Baynes told BioFuels Digest in a rare interview in July. "But those new investor prospects walked away, particularly post-election."

Dmitry Akhanov, the president and CEO of Rusnano USA Inc., a Kremlin-owned venture capital firm nicknamed "Putin’s child," oversaw the Russian government’s investment in Joule and sat on its board along with two other Russians with ties to the Kremlin. Akhavov agreed that Clinton’s loss doomed the company.

"We lined up investors who were willing to buy the bonds, but after the elections, with some statements from the new administration regarding potential uncertainty, the future support of biofuels was stopped," he told The Daily Caller News Foundation in an interview. "The company was not able to do the deal and it was one of the reasons why the company was closed."

Akhanov confirmed to TheDCNF his company invested and lost 1 billion rubles, worth $35 million when Joule closed its doors.

The two other board members with ties to Moscow were Ruben Vardanyan, who Putin appointed to a Russian economic modernization council, and Anatoly Chubais, a close personal friend of former President Bill Clinton

and economic advisor to former Russian President Boris Yeltsin. Chubais allegedly made millions in the sell-off and "privatization" of Russia’s state-owned industries.

#4  If it wasn't for graft, John Podesta would be unemployable. Or a journalist, but I repeat myself.

#2  One problem we have as a country is that the elite believe they are too important and influential to go to prison for their crimes. Maybe so. We couldn't impeach Obama because he was the first black POTUS despite having done things that rose to high crimes and misdemeanors. Impeachment was not even on the table. Similarly with the Clintons; they have been betting on the fact that "No former POTUS and first lady" have been indicted for crimes after leaving office.
