More solyndras in the making?

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Solyndra, the company that Obama touted which went bankrupt and we are on the hook for half a billion and was raided by the FBI and there are reports that the White House knew this was going to go belly up.


Now the Admin wants to have even more guarantees that we will pick up the tab if the companies fail.

Why does Obama want to rush everything. Have we learned from our mistakes like for example Iraq? Last week we heard more than a dozen times to pass the jobs bill during his speech

I wouldnt want Obama to be my financial advisor

[Dude!]

in the early days of his administration
there was a theory that obama actually
wanted to bankrupt the country and just
start over with some new
commie or islamic government

i dismissed that, but am now
beginning to wonder

there's almost no other way
to explain his actions

[WRESTLINGFAN]

its unraveling even more

Why is there not an Independent Prosecutor investigating this? If everybody in the WH is as innocent as they say there shouldn't be any problems.

Probably for the same reason no one else but WF has opened this thread in over a month.

There should be a special prosecutor but the Atty gen appoints that and that aint gonna happen

We were supposed to have a transparent administration when in fact its just another corrupt inept clusterfuck of incompetents

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Maybe because nothing new happened in over a month until today

[spoon]

while not chiming in on each individual donor or company, I don't find it odd that the Dems and Obama received the donations from said green energy

in fact, I expect as much and those with the money to promote via donations and lobbyists, are usually the only comps even close to ready/with enough backing to start becoming viable...if any

my problem is more with the constant relationships and how deep they are on both sides of the political isle, and those ties are deeper on the pub side, they just aren't in control of the white house right now and those companies aren't running on brand new business models and very low/if any profits until made viable. still, we need to continue at least trying to lead this new direction, as we don't in so many others at this point

Analysis: Energy Secretary Chu likely to survive Solyndra (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/11/18/us-solyndra-chu-idUSTRE7AH2L020111118)

Chu will likely keep his job, unless damning new details come to light in several parallel investigations into Solyndra.

Chu faced about five hours of grilling on Thursday from Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce committee about Solyndra. By most accounts, he held his own.

Chu took responsibility for Solyndra but stood firm that his staff did their homework on the loan. He said falling prices for solar panels drove the company into bankruptcy and were to blame for taxpayer losses.

He unequivocally said he was not influenced by Solyndra investor George Kaiser, a donor to President Barack Obama's campaign.

[spoon]

sure, a lot of companies are struggling in this economy and I think the politicizing of this truly is just that

it sucks, and I'm actually more mad about the pref treatment that the private investors got in the end that bothers me most

[StanUpshaw]

There is literally nothing about this that is not political. From start to finish.

Your willingness to make hand-waving excuses is just sad.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/02/us-solartrust-bankruptcy-idUSBRE8310ZV20120402

Solar Trust of America LLC, which holds the development rights for the world's largest solar power project, on Monday filed for bankruptcy protection after its majority owner began insolvency proceedings in Germany.

The Oakland-based company has held rights for the 1,000-megawatt Blythe Solar Power Project in the Southern California desert, which last April won $2.1 billion of conditional loan guarantees from the U.S. Department of Energy. It is unclear how the bankruptcy will affect that project.

The Administration will just call it another noble failure and just say that more money is needed because throwing taxpayer dollars at everything just fixes it all.
