- Solar manufacturing facility is expected to generate up to 3,000 clean energy jobs in Fremont, CA --- San Francisco, CA – U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today applauded the U.S. Department of Energy’s decision to finalize a $535 million loan guarantee to a California-based solar company, Solyndra. The Department of Energy announced the initial selection of Solyndra as a conditional loan guarantee recipient in March and formalized the decision today at a ground-breaking ceremony in Fremont, California.

“This is a major milestone for California’s solar industry,” Senator Feinstein said. “This federal loan guarantee of $535 million will enable Solyndra to secure affordable financing – at a time when credit is extremely tight – in order to build and operate a commercial-scale facility to manufacture the next generation of rooftop solar systems. The operation is expected to generate at least 3,000 clean energy jobs in an area whose largest employer – NUMMI – may soon shut down. And it will ultimately help make it more affordable for more Americans to power their homes and buildings through solar energy. So it’s a win-win for the economy and the environment.

They blew through a half a billion dolars in less than 2 years?

No wonder the FBI is raiding the place today- It is probably so they can grab and hold onto the records before anyone else sees them.

(*You dont think Holders’s people are out to find the truth, do you?)

Diane Feinstein - a dog took a dump in the street and she stopped to applaud. “A wonderful display of performance art.”

The Democrats are dumber than donuts and so incompetent that they can’t run a snocone stand. Why in the world would anyone listen to anything a Democrat has to say about moral/social issues?
