U.S. poised to hand over $197 million to San Jose solar panel startup

The DOE payments to SoloPower will come on top of the $56.5 million SoloPower has collected in loans, tax credits and incentives from the state of Oregon and the city of Portland, where its first factory will be located.

Well, that's $235,500,000 that US, Oregon, and Portland taxpayers can kiss goodbye so some Greens can feel good momentarily. More once the lawyers get involved during the inevitable collapse.

*sigh*

Maybe I should start a solar power company. For 2 years of work I could end up with several million dollars in self-awarded bonuses and salary after the whole thing collapses. Not bad...

It will shut in 2 years and the guys who started it can walk away with a million or two in each pocket
