Beware! There could be no more dangerous climate zealot in the White House than John Podesta. He is/was the master architect of killing carbon-based fuels under Clinton and Obama. Former member of the Trilateral Commission, the champion of modern Technocracy. ? TN Editor

"His deep roots in climate and clean energy policy and his experience at senior levels of government mean we can truly hit the ground running," Biden said about Podesta to the New York Times.

Podesta has been in Washington for decades, slipping in and out of past administrations, pulling the strings to gain enormous personal power and wealth.

As Biden's advisor, Podesta will be in charge of allocating $370 billion in funding allocated in the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act" to green energy projects backed by some of Wall Street's wealthiest liberal investors.

Podesta told the Times he would focus on the goal of transforming America away from oil and fossil fuels.

"The transformation of the energy economy is going to be the biggest thing economically that is happening in this country," he said, promising to work to create "a future that is not blighted by the threat of climate change."

Podesta is currently on the board of the leftist think tank Center for American Progress but will step down to take the position with Biden's administration.
