The bankruptcy of Solyndra has now brought in the FBI. I'm sure most folks are well aware that they got about half a billion in loans from the US Department of Energy before going bankrupt. That's a fair amount of money for a company. I wonder if anyone knows if
1) It was a boilerplate operation designed to fool the US government. 2) Horribly managed....and blowing half a billion with little output is real bad measurement. 3) An honest problem: it is impossible to compete with China on solar panels because they can produce them without regard to the energy needed to make them or the pollution caused by the process, and pay their workers far less than workers in the US. 4)Some combination of 1, 2, 3? 5) Something else Best Regards, Dan _______________________________________________ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
