    Solyndra Not Sole Firm to Hit Rock Bottom Despite Stimulus Funding


    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/…

    Solyndra, the solar panel company whose highly publicized failure and consequent investigation by federal authorities has flashed across headlines recently, isn't the only business to go belly up after benefiting from a piece of the $800 billion economic stimulus package passed in 2009.
    At least four other companies have received stimulus funding only to later file for bankruptcy, and two of those were working on alternative energy.

    More of your hard earned tax dollars down the drain. Alternative energy, so fucking unrealistic.

    • There are successful alternative energy sources being manufactured, just not in the US. Can't compete with cheap foreign labor.IRNlun6

    • This was initially funded under Bush. Also received millions in private funding...TheBlueOne
