Crony Alert: Jigar Shah at ‘Climate Solutions’ Dinner in Seattle

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- May 19, 2025

Climate Solutions, “accelerating the transition to our clean energy future,” has its annual dinner this Tuesday night. This is your chance to visit with leaders of the Climate Industrial Complex, rich and bossy with a strong desire to pick the pocket of local, state, and national taxpayers.

With billions of DOE dollars held in escrow, Jigar Shah will provide the latest coordinates of where the gold bricks landed that were thrown off the Titanic. No talk title was given, so I’ll suggest one: “Monetizing the Unearned: Podesta/Biden Energy Policy by the Billions.” This refers to the Inflation Reduction Act’s $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, $20 billion of which was rushed out the door with Trump’s electoral victory. Shah was at the controls of the legal looting.

Here is the official announcement:

Climate Solutions is excited to hold our Annual Dinner event in Seattle on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, 5pm-8:30pm at the Westin Seattle with guest speaker Jigar Shah. Jigar is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and energy strategist. Shah most recently served as Director of the Loan Programs Office for the U.S. Department of Energy from March 2021 to January 2025.

The crony crowd is running scared, with the displaced Jigar Shah and a few others (Jennifer Granholm) hanging in there with lucrative green employment. But America has caught on. and easy federal budget cuts could result in a mass redeployment of resources to the real market, the free market, in the months ahead.
