In the finally analysis you have to understand t he energy partnerships were just used to bundle revenue for campaign coffers of the democrats. Was it lost on the public that those the ran the enterprises that were funded by the energy department were actually "bundlers" for the democrat party?
In the criminal justice system this is known as "money laundering" and it is actually illegal. But that it's illegal is of no consequence for democrats as the justice system that is also run by democrats to protect us from criminal activity is also run by criminals. (See Eric Holder's DOJ History)
Obama Launches Private-Public Partnership to Address Infrastructure Construction

President Obama intends to address infrastructure construction with a new "public-private partnership" called the Build America Investment Initiative, explains Diana Furchtgott-Roth, director of Economics21.
What is a private-public partnership? The concept is a partnership between the government and private parties. In the case of the Build America Investment Initiative, the federal government would work with states and cities to grant them federal loans and encourage them to enter into private sector partnerships.
Furchtgott-Roth cautions against the very notion of a public-private partnership, writing that partnerships are supposed to consist of equal partners that share in risks and rewards. Businesses and governments, she writes, cannot be equal, as one party taxes the other.
The initiative would include a Transportation Investment Center within the Department of Transportation, which would serve as a public-private infrastructure bank. When President Obama proposed a similar bank in 2011, cost projections were $5 billion for 2010 and $30 billion over the following six years. Congress did not authorize funding for the project. Instead, President Obama is using his executive power to create something similar.

The Build America Investment Initiative would also include:
- A navigator service, which would explain to states and local governments how to access federal credit programs and design public-private partnerships.
- Programs to encourage the use of credit programs with the Department of Transportation that are designed to spur private sector investment.
- Technical assistance to ensure that the public and private sector can work together on these projects.
