Obama Touts Israeli-Developed Solar Company BrightSource

obama bightsource solar energyAbout to break ground later this month in California, and with an IPO in the horizon, US President lauds clean tech companies like BrightSource for creating new “green” jobs.

To bolster his leadership position and defend his support of clean technology, US President Obama lauds the solar energy company BrightSource for creating jobs and green energy sources in California in a recent public address. Watch the video below the fold.

“With projects like this one, and others across this country, we are staking our claim to continued leadership in the new global economy,” said Obama, defending his policy: “In the pledge they recently released, the Republican leadership is promising to scrap all the incentives for clean energy projects, including those currently underway — even with all the jobs and potential that they hold.”

To support his agenda, Obama pointed out the importance of the Israeli-founded solar energy company BrightSource, with a headquarters in Oakland, CA, and an engineering subsidiary in Jerusalem. BrightSource is about to break ground in the Mojave Desert this month, making it the world’s largest solar power plant, which will employ about 1,000 people. It expects to power up to 140,000 homes with solar power.

Obama says: “The largest such plant in the world is not in China, not in India, but in California. With projects like this one we are staking our claim in the new global economy… that will protect our planet for future generations.”

  1. Neither Brightsource nor PetroAlgae are U.S. companies and yet Barack Obama misleads the public for his masters at Goldman Sachs in both cases..

    Florida where the Grin brothers of Israel’s Petroalgae scam is officially headquartered has,like Nevada, been used by Israeli criminals for years with the U.S. governments’ blessings to run penny stock ‘share-money laundering’ ops and fraud against its own people and sending their dollars to offshore accounts of Israeli and other colluding criminals with Washington D.C. connections.

    Below is a little about the recent Goldman Sachs collusion with the notorious Israeli stock and money laundering criminals the Grin brothers’ PetroAlgae fraud.The Grins are in turn connected to Austrian Jewish billionaire Martin Schlaff who is part of the racist Israeli Finance Minister Avigdor Liebermann’s crime family.
    This is the thanks Americans get for the bailout
    or stock collapse fraud of Goldman Sachs in 2008.It would appear that Goldman Sachs works with Israeli criminals still to steal and launder money on U.S.stock exchanges including the penny stock market or ‘shorting’ Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac while the SEC of Bloody Mary Schapiro and ex SEC Chair Chris Naked Shorts Cox use the sec.gov site to purposely, fraudulently and criminally lie that those shares were ‘naked shorted’ instead – no doubt by Overstock.con CEO Patrick Byrne’s ‘Sith Lord’ !:

    http://www.ecobizwatch.com/read/goldman-swims-downstream-for-petroalgae-ipo

    NEW YORK – No customer is too tiny for Goldman Sachs Organisation Inc (GS.N) these days, even a association with no income that’s owned by a sidestep account specializing in penny stocks.

    In a pierce which astounded a little observers, Goldman progressing this month emerged as the co-lead physical education instructor on an primary open charity for PetroAlgae (PALG.OB), a development-stage association which is perplexing to emanate oil from algae.

    Florida-based PetroAlgae, which skeleton to lift up to $200 million in the offering, has mislaid $58 million over the past 3 years.

    The renewable appetite record it is perplexing to rise is innovative, and pick start-ups are perplexing to gain on it as well. But PetroAlgae is by no equates to a personality in the field. And distinct one of its rivals, it doesn’t have dollars issuing its way from Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N), which is awaiting to siphon $600 million in to the rising industry.

    Rather, PetroAlgae’s categorical devotee is an $800 million New York sidestep fund, Laurus Capital Management, run by brothers Eugene and David Grin, who are most appropriate great known for investing in in isolation placements of cash-strapped micro-cap companies.

    The IPO could assistance the brothers and their investors to monetize one of their funds’ 94 percent equity interest in PetroAlgae…..

    “SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING GREEN”

    PetroAlgae told regulators of its skeleton to launch an IPO on Aug 11, but it has charity no timetable, definition it could be months or even years prior to it goes to market. The company’s IPO is surprising since its shares already traffic on the OTC Bulletin Board, where razor-thin volumes means vast swings in share prices.

    ………………

    Maybe it’s not the SEC’s fault.Maybe because they lost my 2003 complaint regarding Endovasc that Charles Schwab as well as the Grin brothers as well as James Dale Davidson,David P Summers the Virginia Heritage Bank penny stock banker posing as biotech inventor,Bellador Group of Kuala Lumpur with its CIA connections,etc.,etc. were all involved in – they just ‘couldn’t put ‘the dots’ together any better than Barack Osama Obama can connect the dots of ICTS International stock fraud of Israeli government connected Menachem Atzmon and his ICTS International that ‘accidentally’ allowed Mohamed Atta and friends to board their flights to the WTC FROM LOGAN BOSTON AIRPORT ON 9/11/01(AND WHO ACCIDENTALLY ALLOWED RICHARD REID ‘THE SHOE BOMBER’ TO BOARD IN PARIS SHORTLY AFTER THAT AND THE NIGERIAN ‘CROTCH BOMBER’ TO BOARD FLIGHT 253 TO DETROIT FROM SCHIPHOL AMSTERDAN ON CHRISTMAS 2009).Maybe THEY ALL JUST HAVE A LOW ‘DOT CONNECTING IQ’…..

    Wolf Blitzer and CNN cer­tainly felt it was impor­tant enough to send the attor­neys to that Florida court to neu­tral­ize any poten­tial claim against them by their fel­low Zion­ists Michael Zweb­ner with his Ehud Olmert and Moshe Katasav
    connections.(Katsav was later accused of rape by sev­eral of his Israeli female employ­ees in office of tourism,etc. but Israeli news like U.S.news con­trolled and owned by Jew­ish ‘busi­ness­men’ never reported his involve­ment in stock fraud and money laun­der­ing agaimnst Americans,al la UCSY).

    Can you believe with all the slack time CNN has on its hands 24/7 and apper­ently no news to report that they should have not reported a $100 mil­lion legal case against them by a British Israeli money laun­derer directly con­nected to Olmert and Kat­sav !?

    And because CNN and Fox cov­ers up and even aids and abets stock frauds against Amer­i­cans in their own coun­try or what used to be con­sid­ered their own coun­try it goes on even now.One exam­ple is PetroAl­gae fraud and money laun­der­ing scam of the Grin broth­ers,( con­nected like Israeli Finance Min­is­ter Avig­dor Lieber­man with Aus­trian Jew­ish bil­lion­aire Mar­tin Schlaff ),
    that Forbes erro­neously claimed were Ukran­ian so as to avoid edu­cat­ing their read­ers to the Grin broth­ers’ Israel base of operations.I was ripped off in part by the Grin brothers, David, Eugene,Abraham,through the Endovasc ‘biotech’ fraud in 2001.
    Gold­man Sachs is involved in this fraud as well so are aid­ing and abet­ting the Grin broth­ers to steal more more from Amer­i­cans through that
    ‘share-money laun­der­ing oper­a­tion as I write.
    Because I knew a pro­fes­sor Cul­ley of Louisiana State Uni­ver­sity who was the first to sug­gest the poten­tial uses of duck­weed or Lem­nacea for waste water treat­ment in the 1970’s I find it very sad that those scum­bags ‚(who I doubt are ‘semi­tes’ if they have Ukran­ian origens),are using his hon­est and sin­cere research for fraud.No money stolen by them in this stock fraud will go to LSU or any real research but like Endovasc and so many Grin bro con­nected scams will go to off­s­hore accounts and do evil.
