Solyandra's technology has nothing to do with other solar companies. People know what caused Solyandra's failure.


We are talking past each other. I am not against funding research and perhaps even an early demonstration. In this case any partial due diligence would have saved the tax payers a half a billion. This project was political IMO and hence corrupt. Much of the Obama "stimulus" money was in the form of payoffs to interest groups. This is simply another example. I think it would be wise to shut off politically based funding of "green (as in the color of money) projects" until we understand what went wrong.

All of this aside, how does our nation spend our very limited funds to help end this recession. I believe priority one is jobs. I wonder if that is the number one priority of the green movement? I am sure you agree we should not be spending a half a billion $ on political projects.
