You should do something about your links - and read them. The gist of that information is the same as elsewhere and exactly opposite to the caption you give. The fact is that it will not be a complete loss to the taxpayer: may not even be a great loss, and, even it it proves to be a complate loss, it would still be only 1.3% of the total guarantees committed under the highly successful programme.
Which is producing. And beginning to produce significant amounts.
Solar is going gangbusters in the US already and, one of the reasons that Solyndra failed, the technology is rapidly improving. For Solyndra, it was committed fully to a certain technology in manufacturing screens when a better and cheaper came along. IT may well be that a new company will take over Solyyndra's factory. a state of the art facility, and make better use of it.
BTW, Solyndra was a George Bush baby, not Obama's.
Solar is going gangbusters? Why? It's only 12% efficient. That is USELESS and it sure as **** isn't "green".
What will solar power do to repair the diminishing magnetosphere that also has giant hole in it that is making sea levels rise?
I assume that, in your sublime ignorance, you class me as a 'Greenie.' somebody should define that very vague term.
I have long been a supporter of that very conservative, Dean Swift, and his plan for culling population contained in his "Modest Proposal."
It would fix the overpopulation problem while providing much needed protein for underdeveloped countries if it were to be put into practice on a world wide basis.
Ahhhhh so you are a full on Bolshevik ready to butcher the poor.
Come pay me a visit and I'll reduce the population by 1.
I HATE Bolsheviks.
Come pay me a visit and I'll reduce the population by 1.
I HATE Bolsheviks.
You're thinking of Johnathon Swift.... Unless Dean was his cousin or something and helped write the essay
I see his plan now... Butcher the poorest of the poor and beggar the remainder of the global population just for good measure.
How reasonable
Dude you are so out of your mind. You really are.
Solyndra, explained - The Washington Post
Quit cherry picking. Solyndra was not "Bush's baby" you dolt.
From the article...
"In March 2009, Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced a $535 million conditional loan guarantee to Solyndra — making it the first to receive a loan since the 2005 program began. At that point, administration officials pushed for the DOE to hasten its final decision on approving the loan so Vice President Joe Biden could announce it on a planned trip to California. The loan was funded with stimulus money and formally announced in September 2009."
And who was President in 2009?
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 is the program you are talking about and the program came about in the Bush Administration. The Obama Administration made sure that Solyndra got some of that money in 2009.
Solyndra is BANKRUPT and the taxpayers are on the hook for $500+ Million dollars. END OF STORY
Its Jonathan Swift. Now who is the ignorant one.
There are not many things better in this forum when in one post, the poster calls another ignorant and then falls flat on his face when he does not know what he's talking about.
Which is a tiny drop in the bucket when compared to the many billions that are wasted trying to keep the current system crippling along.

Did you have a problem with the taxpayers getting stuck with a $700 BILLION bailout that was made necessary due to lack of oversight and regulation in the first place?
The Pentagon probably loses that much in an afternoon.
Watchdog Groups Identify Nearly $700 Billion in Wasteful Spending on National Security
God forbid they spend something in the US that might actually benefit its people.
One of the reasons the whole system is so screwy is the comprehensive political control by the energy and financial sectors who work hand in hand.
Building a new energy model isn't going to be cheap, spending trillions to keep the old system crippling along while the climate kicks us in the butt is going to become impossible and I'm thinking in the not to distant future.
There's a number of new companies coming out with cheap, reliable and high volume production of solar panels with efficiency improving all the time.
Nanosolar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You can see a future where entire houses and commerical building are covered in power producing materials and new solar power farms are being built all the time. Nanosolar guarantees its panels for 25 years, instead of burning 20,000 tons of hugely polluting coal every day like many power plants in the US and Canada do, we could have access to cheap dependable energy in a relatively short amount of time.
Oh grow up, Solyndra is just one of more than a half dozen companies that are producing cheap, plentiful and reliable solar panels, often in the hundreds of megawatts scale a year.
Nanosolar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The new energy sector is going to be a hell of lot more competitive than the old one, unless you're into taking it up the ass repeatedly from the oil and coal companies forever then solar, biomass, geothermal, wind/tidal and others technologies are going to be the future base of the modern economy.
Just pointing out a glaring misrepresentation on your part.
That said, you are more than welcome to post a link to Dean Swift's essay on the topic - I would greatly enjoy the read.
duh!!!!!!!
You should know that I do not discriminate. Except for oilmen. They wouold be first on the Block.
I cannot spare the time for your education. If you do a simple search you will find that it was Bush's baby. He pushed it in 2007. The approval date for the loan is not the measure.
Also, taxpayers will not be on the hook for $500 million. Solyndra has assets of more than $800 million and I explaines the rest simply enough for you.
As for Swift, take your feet and fingers out of your mouth. Jonathan Swift (no matter how you spell Jonathan) was Dean Swift.
Good heavens! Get a grip. Think just a little before you spout.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Why because CO2 from fossil fuels has made the magnetosphere diminish by 10% which has a far higher correlation coefficiency than AGW could ever hope for? A correlation coefficiency of 0.98 linking magnetoshpere issues is a tough nut for the CO2 crowd to crack
Mee thinks you are a prime example of the damage ionizing radiation is capable of doing to the human brain.
I thought I asked yopu for an explanation of your obsession with some "theory" about the magnetosphere.
It is strange that there is not a single scientist that I am aware of who tries to make that connedtion. So, I wonder where it comes from.
This isn't even close to reality.
The Earth's magnetic field is produced BY THE LIQUID PORTION OF THE EARTH'S IRON CORE. It's declining as part of a recurring effect as the helical currents become disrupted in the outer core, it's happened many times in the past and will happen again.
IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH AGW.
Mee thinks you are bat**** crazy.
