When a plane crashes, the FAA and NTSB will ground similar planes until they figure out what happened. We seemed to be launching more sorties of the same type of the crashed Solyndra. Should we ground at least some of these flights of fancy so we can do an accident investigation? /rhet

A third project, worth $1.4 billion, will support installation of about 750 solar rooftop panels in 28 states.

WTF?!?!

$1,866,666 per panel?!?

Their needs to be bodies hanging from light posts for this...

550-megawatt solar farm on federal land in Southern California and $646 million to Exelon Corp. for a 230-megawatt solar plant near Los Angeles.

that 780 MW see the numbers below......

The math is simple: to have 8,500 megawatts of solar capacity, California would need at least 23 projects the size of Ivanpah, covering about 129 square miles, an area more than five times as large as Manhattan. While there’s plenty of land in the Mojave, projects as big as Ivanpah raise environmental concerns. In April, the federal Bureau of Land Management ordered a halt to construction on part of the facility out of concern for the desert tortoise, which is protected under the Endangered Species Act.

My calculator must be broke: $1,400,000,000 / 28 'panels' = $1,866,667 per 'panel'.

Are the dam things made out of Platinum and Diamonds? Or designed by Christian Dior?

But they can't seem to find $35 million to keep the successful particle collider operating in Illinois. This crap has got to stop!

How is the Energy Dept empowered to make loans like a bank?

And with funds borrowed from China?

Good Grief!

They’re stealing as fast as possible now; like a collapsing 3rd world junta. And the GOP stands there inert in their fecklessness, watching the nation’s treasure vanish.

Five BILLION that WILL NOT go toward balancing the budget.

Going to be damn hard to “Save” one-hundred BILLION to balance our national debt when the spending keeps escalating like this.

This is a significant chunk of the debt limit increase we just got!

This administration HAS to be stopped, the insane spending HAS to be stopped.

Hey, c'mon everybody. Lighten up.

It's not like we don't have a few more extra billion tax dollars just lying around looking for a way to pay off Democrat donors.

Sheesh! Get a life!!
