PolitiFact | The Obameter: Campaign Promises that are about Energy
Here is a good one:
PolitiFact | The Obameter: Create 5 million "green" jobs
It will take about a decade for the promise above to be fully fulfilled (depending on economic conditions), but already estimates say close to a million private, green jobs will have been created by the end of 2012.
All in all, was Solyndra a failure? Yes, but that does not mean Obama hasn't made great strides with Energy issues.
