Re: yeah... I'm with callandor. Are you saying that they're corrupt in some way? callandor1000 Send a noteboard - 03/11/2009 04:47:07 PM

The deal appeared to pay off in a big way last week, when the Energy Department announced $3.4 billion in smart grid grants. Of the total, more than $560 million went to utilities with which Silver Spring has contracts. Kleiner Perkins and its partners, including Mr. Gore, could recoup their investment many times over in coming years.


This is the only part I could see you having a problem with, that they got such a large percentage of the grants (almost 15%).


I mean, yeah. They're a business that makes this equipment. They're not a non-profit. That doesn't mean that they're necessarily "eeeeeeeeeevil."


I think his point was that republicans are allowed to invest money in the agendas they push but when democrats do it they're hypocrites.

Your mom. That's right. The cat is out of the bag. Your mom.
