This jibes with something I noticed. There are some videos around the internet that were made inside the manufacturing plants of Solyndra and Beacon Power. These videos were either made by the companies themselves, or by friendly news crews that were doing stories on these companies with their cooperation.

What I noticed was that in both cases the factories were much too big for the production floor space in use. They looked like great big empty buildings with a production line set up in one corner. In the case of Solyndra, there was quite a lot of palletized raw material taking up floor space, but the production equipment was minimal.

This struck me as odd; I’ve been in quite a few factories owned by profitable companies, and they are always crowded with machinery, overhead equipment, etc. There isn’t a lot of empty space, unless they are on the decline.

This struck me as odd when I saw the videos, but I couldn’t put my finger on the reason. This article puts words to my intuition.

I believe most if not all of the videos I’m referencing here are available on YouTube.

I just started doing work for a company like this. They moved from their previous facility because they obtained a very favorable lease.
