Reuterss original story Monday did not make it clear Solar Trust never got the money. It put out an updated story on Wednesday specifying that fact.
Solar Trusts project in Blythe, Calif. which would have been one of the largest solar farms in the world received a conditional commitment for a $2.1 billion loan guarantee from DOE in April 2011.
The deal, almost four times as large as Solyndras, got star treatment from administration officials. Energy Secretary Steven Chu lauded it in a White House blog post, and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar attended the projects groundbreaking ceremony in June. (Its located on federally controlled land).

It seems like you are trying to make me responsible for what another poster writes (which looked like a cut and paste error to me).
I gave you two links were you can check the numbers. If you are not happy with that, so be it.
excellent compilation of obama’s crony capitalism.
so many “green” scandals, it’s hard to keep track of:

I must be part of the “right-wing noise machine” the Huffpo complains about.
A huge load of good information.
