Two years ago in 2009 just before the government invested in Solyndra they received a report from the Energy Department warning that even if the company got the loan guarantee from the government they wanted Solyndra would run out of money in September 2011. They went ahead and gave them the money, our money, anyway. 

Now for something completely different, in China about 500 people demonstrated in front of a factory protesting the factory's pollution. The pollution must have been really horrible because it takes a certain amount of courage to participate in a demonstration of that sort in China. Incidentally the plant made solar panels.
