Not really. The laws of physics apply in Texas just as they do in California. Solyndra's technology didn't work or more accurately the price of energy produced by their technology (even with government subsidies) was hideously expensive. Their technology just didn't cut it. Simple as that.

Same thing would have happened in Texas because it's a dead end business regardless what state it's in.

Here in Texas we believe in drilling.

Well, the tax laws and regulatory climate here would have been more favorable, but I doubt they would have sold any more solar panels. Probably never really made any to begin with, since they had all that 'seed' money from "Obama's stash" and just doled it out amongst those Obama donors who were looking for their election payback. It's really hard to make a profit when you spend all the seed money on payoffs and the product never really gets manufactured. At least that's what I suspect happened.
