If you thought the $535 million Solyndra scandal had chastened the fearless venture capitalists of the Obama Administration, think again. The Department of Energy shovelled out $1.1 billion in new loan guarantees to solar projects in Nevada and Arizona Wednesday, and more deals are pending before the $18 billion program funded by the 2009 stimulus expires Friday.

Meanwhile, the GOP is searching for their manhood or what? When are the spineless, gutless House Republicans and their less than fearless leader, Boner, going to stop this corruption? Answers, please.

Oops, we went bankrupt again. Can’t explain how the “stimulus” money got into the DNC account for some reason.

So obviously your local newspaper endorsed Obama.

There is no honor anymore.

BTW: Anybody know what happened to those Solyndra records that we saw those so called “FBI” guys hauling off? I don’t think we’ll ever see those puppies again.

I’m SURE there’s a scandal behind every dammed one of these companies. Just follow the money. This should be low hanging fruit.

They’re also still forging ahead with another $300 million to Abound Solar.

The deal was for $400 million, but they’re to spend $100 m of it on an existing line in CO, before they get the money to then build a new line in an unfinished transmission plant in IN.

Nothing but very basic upkeep has gone on there since the deal was cut a year ago.

but lo and behold!....Just yesterday, they strung up a 6 foot banner on the fence with their name on it.

I thought that from the start. The FBI raid was to remove evidence. Not find it.

President Barack Obama will raise money in early October with a Missouri businessman whose company benefited from a $107 million federal tax credit to develop a wind power facility in his state.
