    “Of that $80 billion in clean energy loans, grants, and tax credits, at least 10 percent has gone to companies that have since either gone bankrupt or are circling the drain.”

    What’s 8 billion dollars, between comrades?

  2. Pathway says:

    How many of these companies were bundlers for the Obama campaign?

  3. ralph says:

    Does that mean we won’t be getting 5 million green jobs in the next 4 years? 🙂

  4. About the dumbest thing any government could do is invest in start-ups. If they have 8 billion to spare, the money should have sensibly been placed in fundamental energy research. Imagine if the US government during WW2 decided to put millions of dollars into the hands of hundreds of new venture businesses and asked them to do the equivalent of the Manhattan Project.

  5. Andy DC says:

    If we were energy independent and prosperous, perhaps we could play around with alternative energy, but we simply cannot afford to do so at this time.

    Who cares if China owns our men?
