To use such a stupid title, really does make one wonder who your audiance is.. don’t we all know this project was supported by well meaning and totally inept politicians from both sides.. ..

Too bad totally lazy and worthless people who claim to watch over the PV sector can’t do more than repeat bull shit..

Have a nice day…

You need to wash your hands with strong soap after typing that….

Bush was one of great environmentalist presidents. He was always looking to inprove the lives of us Americans thorough encouraging increases in energy creation. I’m so glad you recognize that now.

No, Ed. It’s a preemptive move to sidetrack this plant closure from being used as a political attack ad.

This project and Solyndra were largely created during the Bush administration but failed later when a different person was in the White House. Political players are attempting to inflict damage by blaming the present president for their funding.

Neither administration should receive any blame for extending a bit of help to American companies to create American manufacturing and American jobs.

I’d much rather see us directly help emerging technologies by providing low cost loans, etc. than to give even more money to the very rich in hopes that they do something to help the country rather than buy more houses and rich boy toys.

Actually I find your comment very political as I consider it.

Your need to remind the world that bush was involved with this company only makes me believe that your need to implicate a political party shows that your motivation is very political and not worthy of my consideration

I interviewed there and came pretty close to getting hired as a manufacturing engineer. The owner and everyone I met there were remarkable people and I wish them well. They had a brilliant design that allowed their cells to be mass-produced using standard semi-conductor manufacturing processes.

It is sad to see these companies continue to fall by the wayside. All is not lost, there are new companies rising. Natcore Technologies is in the process of commercializing black silicon, which will increase the efficiency of PV’s, lower the cost of making them, and reduce the pollution while doing so! They also have thin film roll to roll tandem cell technology that is patented, that will increase efficiencies to 30%, but have not yet found the funding to commercialize it.
