- Solar manufacturing facility is expected to generate up to 3,000 clean energy jobs in Fremont, CA --- San Francisco, CA U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today applauded the U.S. Department of Energys decision to finalize a $535 million loan guarantee to a California-based solar company, Solyndra. The Department of Energy announced the initial selection of Solyndra as a conditional loan guarantee recipient in March and formalized the decision today at a ground-breaking ceremony in Fremont, California.
This is a major milestone for Californias solar industry, Senator Feinstein said. This federal loan guarantee of $535 million will enable Solyndra to secure affordable financing at a time when credit is extremely tight in order to build and operate a commercial-scale facility to manufacture the next generation of rooftop solar systems. The operation is expected to generate at least 3,000 clean energy jobs in an area whose largest employer NUMMI may soon shut down. And it will ultimately help make it more affordable for more Americans to power their homes and buildings through solar energy. So its a win-win for the economy and the environment.

I am sure her campaign fund got their cut.
They blew through a half a billion dolars in less than 2 years?
No wonder the FBI is raiding the place today- It is probably so they can grab and hold onto the records before anyone else sees them.
(*You dont think Holders’s people are out to find the truth, do you?)
Full funding on this company was in price range of $700 million.
$535 million is the amount NObama GUARANTEED with Federal Taxpayer money.
They blew theu $700 Million it seems.

Diane Feinstein - a dog took a dump in the street and she stopped to applaud. “A wonderful display of performance art.”
The Democrats are dumber than donuts and so incompetent that they can’t run a snocone stand. Why in the world would anyone listen to anything a Democrat has to say about moral/social issues?
Not really. The Democrat Media Complex will bury it under “Old News.”
That, and so that Obama and everyone else in the administration can use the excuse that they can't comment about them because they're under investigation if anyone asks inconvenient questions.
