"The article also quoted Julian Hawking of Abound Solar Inc., who stated: “When Solyndra started up it was a completely different time for the industry. Nobody expected the huge drop in polysilicon prices.”"

Here's the weak spot in your "argument." It was well known in early 2008 (before the hugh investments were made in Solyndra) that the price of silicon was going to drop for obvious and logical reasons.

I suggest you start checking your FACTS. Just because you read something somewhere, doesn't make it a FACT.
