"House investigators said they have uncovered evidence that White House officials became personally involved in an Energy Department review of a hot-button $535 million loan guarantee to the now-failed California solar company Solyndra." More....The scam and associated hoaxes is now over a decade old, continuing in a "rinse-and-repeat" manner by a corrupt government."How did this company, without maybe the best economic plan, all of a sudden get to the head of the line?" Upton told ABC News in an interview this week. "We want to know who made this decision ... and we're not going to stop until we get those answers."
White House officials have said in interviews that they did not intervene in the Solyndra deal or others benefiting companies backed by supporters of the president. Yet the administration, from Obama to the Department of Energy, has very publicly praised the loan guarantee.
In 2009, the Obama administration hailed the Solyndra loan as the first in a series of federal infusions for "green energy" firms that held the potential to clean up the environment and create jobs. But earlier this week, Solyndra abruptly closed its doors, announced it would file for bankruptcy and laid off more than 1,100 workers.
While Energy Department officials steadfastly vouched for Solyndra -- even after an earlier round of layoffs raised eyebrows -- other federal agencies and industry analysts for months questioned the viability of the company. Peter Lynch, a longtime solar industry analyst, told ABC News the company's fate should have been obvious from the start.

‘Green Energy’ is just a scam to get ‘Greenbacks’ to Democrats green with envy, and nothing more................
BINGO!
The parallels to “Atlas Shrugged” are amazing...
“BINGO!”
Asininity, and insanity on parade, and “We the People” have had enough of it.
January 6 2020 seems to be the Countries answer to those with BINGO concerns about asininity and insanity.
Shut your mouf and move on or else.
They’ll be super handy homeless dwellings. Just line them up down the side of the highway.
Not ready for primetime.
550 - and none will work within months. To make matters worse, even if you could get the “parts” to fix them, there is nobody to update the charging software as this article points out, but there are also no software updates to the battery management systems within the buses themselves.
What a massive waste of taxpayer money....
BECAUSE GM BOUGHT UP THE LINES & VEHICLES.
Take the money and run.......................
Let the class action lawsuits begin. Biden should be sued personally. If it’s ok for Trump, it’s ok for Biden.
Just about as right as right as right can be!
Just a little trial run. They are working hard to leave America busted and irreparable.
LOL -
YES. They can show us the way...
Thanks Shady...
“RTD ... recognizes that its partnership with Proterra pushed BEB [battery-electric bus] technology to the advanced stage that it is in today,” Talamantes said.”
where said “advanced stage” hasn’t moved the needle on big-battery technology one iota ...
None of these EVs will ever be a long standing solution until they can make batteries that charge quickly, will travel 300+ miles between charges with a full load, will not catch on fire, and can be recharged thousands of times, and at every convenience store.........

and don’t weigh tons, and don’t catch on fires that can’t be put out, and the EVs don’t have to be totaled after fender benders because the batteries are unrepairable black boxes ...
...and the liability insurance isn’t thru the roof..............
What will they do with all the lithium batteries?
