With each revelation of another solar manufacturer going bankrupt, I keep waiting to see how long the charade will continue in San Antonio.

San Antonio’s socialist mayor, Julian Castro, has made deals to create thre large solar energy collection fields as well as more deals (doubtless tax credits) for a solar panel manufacturer to come to San Antonio and open a facility.

Any day, now, I expect the see this bubble burst like so many before it. And, the idiots in San Antonio will never see it coming!

CLEVELAND, Tenn. — Wacker Polysilicon officials are expected to announce an additional $300 million investment in their northern Bradley County operations after receiving a one-time $1 million property tax abatement for 2014.

Wacker, originally having made a $1 billion commitment to its Charleston facility, ultimately will increase its investment to $1.8 billion, said Farlow. He noted that the company already had made an additional $500 million investment without asking for further concessions from the county.

In addition to the property taxes that Wacker will provide the county, it will pump an estimated $65 million into the community through salaries and wages for its projected staff of 600 employees, said Farlow
