Alex;
For you - since you obviously miss my argument - I will explain this one more time. ........I believe in Capitalism (which is different than Corporatalism) . I believe the market is the best place to decide winners and losers. When the government steps in and gives money to some companies - and not other companies - those companies that get no subsidy are penalized. Being penalized prevents Capitalism from working freely. The hand of government in business if you will. BUT, there remains a role of government in incentivizing good ideas like green energy. Green energy is good in my mind - do you agree? GW is one of our most important issues. Would you agree with that? .........Now the next statement is the very most important one to understand the point I was trying to get across; So instead of picking winners and losers by giving some of them government assistance - give the money that you want to stimulate the economy with to the people. To you and I. The money goes to you and not Solyndra. You get a check from the government to put a solar unit on your rooftop which makes your energy cheaper. Then the market - Capitalism - picks the winners and losers - depending on who you buy from. GAWD, I can't believe you liberals are arguing against this!
