Solar cells are a mature technology, and as such the manufacturing has been moved offshore to reduce costs.

Half a billion dollars???? Are you kidding me? I would say that the US is on its way to becoming Spain, but Spain is changing course. Obamanomics.

Their two large facilities are visible from I-880.
This green job crap IS A JOKE. We have poured billions of taxpayer dollars into a multitude of failed ventures.

The Left in America DOES NOT WANT “Clean” energy.
They want politically-correct energy beholden TO THEM, that they CONTROL.
If they were concerned about Clean Energy production, we’d be building hydro-electric dams all over America.

Fremont solar tech firm Solyndra shutting down, laying off 1,100 employees

President Barack Obama held it up as a poster child for clean energy, saying during a 2010 visit to its headquarters that “companies like Solyndra are leading the way toward a brighter and more prosperous future.”
And despite having raised more than $1 billion in venture capital and receiving a $535 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy, Solyndra struggled. One reason for its woes is that low-cost Chinese manufacturers are building massive factories that have rapidly driven down the price of solar panels and shifted more than 50 percent of production to China.

They couldn’t get ramped up fast enough to compete?
How the heck did we ever win WW2?

Solyndra was touted by the Obama administration as a prime example of how green technology could deliver jobs.
lol...the Obama jinx continues. Final four, Chicago Olympics, etc. etc. The Midas touch.

I think they renovated a total of like 5 homes - that was it.
Thing is, you hear these stories one day, then they’re pretty much gone the next day.
Tomorrow, we’ll get to find out all we need to know about Beyonces belly.
Meanwhile, nobody goes to jail - whether it’s a few tens of millions or like this one, HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS...

I knew an engineer who was promised loads of stock options to join them. Two years later he was out of a job.
We tried to tell him it was a Pelosi Pipe Dream.

These Green Companies can’t even stay in business long enough to kick into the Obama 2012 campaign.
