Unbridled enthusiasm to spend ..."It's not his statements the administration will regret; it's the loan guarantees. The President was celebrating $535 million in federal promises from the Department of Energy to the solar startup. The administration didn't do its due diligence, says the Government Accountability Office."

THE ENERGY MARKET IS RACIST!

White sunlight makes the black solar cells do all the work. It never ends.

The biggest winners in BO’s quixotic “green energy” scheme were China, that makes cheap solar panels, and Germany, that makes the windmill blades and other equipment for wind farms...all subsidized by the U.S. taxpayer, of course.

Someone needs to go to jail for wasting billions of porkulus money with nothing to show for it.

Follow the money and the executives from this company, probably bundlers for the dems and zerO.

I guess all those jobs will have to be replaced with “shovel ready jobs”. LOL!

Bush’s fault.

I think that makes 5 by my count of places Obama has given a speech or mentions in a speech that went out of business.

There was New Chet’s Restaurant in Toledo Ohio, the screw works place that made wind turbine towers , Evergreen Solar, and a few others.
