How're those Green Jobs going?

From Politics Daily -- eight months ago:
Obama Solyndra Solar Plant Visit Clouded By Controversy
A dark cloud has settled over the President's trip to sunny Northern California today, and it has everything to do with his photo-op to promote jobs purportedly saved and created by the Recovery act at solar panel production company Solyndra.

President Obama toured the Solyndra plant in Freemont, Calif. and gave an address before the press and state officials, including California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, outlining his vision for a thriving U.S. alternative energy sector buoyed by government funding.

"The promise of clean energy isn't just an article of faith," Obama said, "It's not just some abstract possibility for science fiction movies or a distant future or 10 years down the road or 20 years, it's happening right now. The future is here."
Sure, their financial picture was a bit rickety but they had received $535 million in stimulus funding. From Right Wing News:
California Solar Panel Plant Going �Bust� Despite $535 M Stimulus Bailout
Solyndra Solar Panel plant in Fremont, California has wasted a billion dollars, $535 million of those a direct bailout from U.S. taxpayers, and it is going �bust.�

The Solyndra Solar panel plant in Fremont, California served as the convenient �backdrop� for Barack Obama�s �green economy� speeches in California, and other campaigning Democrats.
How much of your and my money are they pissing away without anything to show for it? This is our money, not the feds... Posted by DaveH at February 3, 2011 8:24 PM
