Ann is brilliantly stating the obvious here. But I never thought of this. Rush didn't think of it.

This jibes with something I noticed. There are some videos around the internet that were made inside the manufacturing plants of Solyndra and Beacon Power. These videos were either made by the companies themselves, or by friendly news crews that were doing stories on these companies with their cooperation.

What I noticed was that in both cases the factories were much too big for the production floor space in use. They looked like great big empty buildings with a production line set up in one corner. In the case of Solyndra, there was quite a lot of palletized raw material taking up floor space, but the production equipment was minimal.

This struck me as odd; I’ve been in quite a few factories owned by profitable companies, and they are always crowded with machinery, overhead equipment, etc. There isn’t a lot of empty space, unless they are on the decline.

This struck me as odd when I saw the videos, but I couldn’t put my finger on the reason. This article puts words to my intuition.

I believe most if not all of the videos I’m referencing here are available on YouTube.

It’s money laundering.

[Major Matt Mason]

I was thinking this a while back - "how can these companies be burning through this money so quickly?". The Obamabots could simply make the claim that these were companies with good ideas that simply didn't work out, but companies don't usually go under this quickly. Will Congress investigate? Probably not.

ALL of the stimulus money was nothing but a huge smash and grab looting of the taxpayer.

Can President Obama Name ONE Clean (Green) Energy Success?
Heritage Action for America ^ | 04/10/2012 | Ashe Schow

For those who only hear about these failing companies one by one, the following is a list of all the clean energy companies supported by President Obama’s stimulus that are now failing or have filed for bankruptcy. The liberal media hopes you’ve forgotten about all of them except Solyndra, but we haven’t.

• Evergreen Solar
• SpectraWatt
• Solyndra (received $535 million)
• Beacon Power (received $43 million)
• AES’ subsidiary Eastern Energy
• Nevada Geothermal (received $98.5 million)
• SunPower (received $1.5 billion)
• First Solar (received $3 billion)
•  Babcock & Brown (an Australian company which received $178 million)
• Ener1 (subsidiary EnerDel received $118.5 million)
• Amonix (received 5.9 million)
• The National Renewable Energy Lab
• Fisker Automotive
• Abound Solar (received $400 million)
• Chevy Volt (taxpayers basically own GM)
• Solar Trust of America
• A123 Systems (received $279 million)
• Willard & Kelsey Solar Group (received $6 million)

That’s 17 (that we know of so far). We also know that loans went to foreign clean energy companies (Fisker sent money to their overseas plant to develop an electric car), and that 80% of these loans went to President Obama’s campaign donors.

The President is trying to claim in his first official campaign ad that he’s created 2.7 million clean energy jobs. When you look at all the companies going bankrupt, some of those jobs might have been paid for by the stimulus, but they are gone now. You can’t claim we’re up 2.7 million jobs if so many of those jobs have been subsequently lost.

Keep this list in mind the next time the media pretends that Solyndra was the only failure.
