It is a $1.6 billion loan guarantee to light up 144,000 homes. If it succeeds, the loan will be repaid and the guarantee cancelled. Anybody out there that can calculate the cost benefit analysis on this?

It doesn’t matter. The government/taxpayers should not be on the hook for it at all. Let Google/BrightSource fund it and take the risk of their own endeavors.

$11,111 per home?

If this puppy can keep this up for enough years, it could break even.

The cost is to the lowly taxpayer. The benefit is to the Regime's politically connected friends.
