Solyndra destroys millions of dollars of parts

[Quantum Windbag]

This is what they asked to be able to pay bonuses for?

After filing for bankruptcy last year, Fremont solar company Solyndra still owes American taxpayers half a billion dollars. But CBS 5 caught them destroying millions of dollars worth of parts.

At Solyndra’s sprawling complex in Fremont, workers in white jumpsuits were unwrapping brand new glass tubes used in solar panels last week. They are the latest, most cutting-edge solar technology, and they are being thrown into dumpsters.

Forklifts brought one pallet after another piled high with the carefully packaged glass. Slowly but surely it all ended up shattered.

And it’s not a few loads. Hundreds of thousands of tubes on shrink-wrapped pallets will meet a similar demise.

Well, it is all part of the shovel ready projects Obama developed. get a shovel and trash their useless technology.

 

[Mr. H.]

Un freaking conscionable.

BTW, I checked eBay- yup there's some Solyndra equipment for sale there.

So, where did the billions upon billions of "stimulus" money go to? I guess they can just earmark a bunch of checks and pass out money and nobody ever has to account for that.

Did Obama know this was going to happen?

Or is it only the company involved?

Sorry to hear this news. I guess they think they can do it, since they're getting $535 million from taxpayers to guarantee everything. That's how Golden Parachutes from Nancy Pelosi work.

Umm might be patent or contractual issues.
Private corporate stuff I am sure.
