Solyndra filed for bankruptcy in 2011.
This stuff is such a scam.
and it keeps getting reset and going again and again.
To a liberal, history began at breakfast this morning —— Ann Coulter
If you don’t learn anything from history...........
Solyndra was a California solar power fabrication/re-selling venture, entirely set up to take taxpayer money and spend it funding democrat donor companies. Never really intended to make a product, generate or sell energy.
From the article,
“The total cost of Crescent Dunes was $1 billion for a promised 110 megawatts on 1,500 acres. Now, the Trump administration is approving a $1 billion plant that will make 690 megawatts on over 7,000 acres. The solar dollar is going a lot further in 2020.”
And it gets worse! This next 1 billion dollar solar plant is STILL BEING FUNDED by the Deep State from Washington! Despite Trump, despite what the repubbies claim, it is still being funded.
$30 per megawatt-hour is 3¢ per kilowatt-hour. That's less than I'm paying and is getting in the range where widespread roof mounting of solar panels will at least aid in powering air conditioning during the day even without storage. If I were building a new house I would probably design it with solar built in, either on the roof or in the yard.
The price is finally getting to where it should be taken seriously. Especially if it allows people to get off the grid so their power can't be cut off by outside forces.
