Remember Solyndra? Republicans screaming and ranting? Think "Whitefish".

[deanrd]

It seems these types of scandals always leads back to Republicans.
Solyndra actually started under George Bush and the GOP.

Did the program that funded the Solyndra loan start under George W. Bush? David Plouffe says so

Now we have the enormous Whitefish scandal.

Zinke: ‘I had absolutely nothing to do with’ Whitefish contract

Zinke has been ensnared in the ongoing controversy over how Whitefish landed a $300 million contract to repair Puerto Rico’s electric grid after Hurricane Maria. The company had two employees and little experience in utility work before Maria, but still got the no-bid contract.

SCANDAL BLOWS UP: Leaked Document Shows Whitefish Contract Bars Government From Auditing Deal

And now, the Trump Administration hired a fracking company to build more of the Puerto Rican power grid at 200 million.

Puerto Rico just hired 2 contractors with little experience to fix its broken power grid

This is a four-month, $200 million contract with a subsidiary of Mammoth Energy, called Cobra Energy. Their job is to design and build a new electric grid for Puerto Rico.

Oh, this just keeps getting better and better.

Solyndra: Politics infused Obama energy programs
Linda Sterio remembers the excitement when President Obama arrived at Solyndra last year and described how his administration’s financial support for the plant was helping create hundreds of jobs. The company’s prospects appeared unlimited as Solyndra executives described the backlog of orders for its solar panels.

Then came the August morning when Sterio heard a newscaster announce that more than a thousand Solyndra employees were out of work. Only recently did she learn that, within the Obama administration, the company’s potential collapse had long been discussed.

But if you are intent on putting Solyndra on Bush you probably don’t want to see this. Sorry sport, you can’t have it both ways.
‘Scandalous’ Solyndra Program Actually Earned Taxpayers A $5 Billion Profit
The much-maligned government program that funded the failed solar tech company Solyndra is expected to make taxpayers a $5 to $6 billion return, Bloomberg Businessweek reported on Wednesday.

So you tell me, was Solyndra a Republican program that ended up turning a profit, or was it a Democratic one that was a complete disaster?

 

[Silhouette]

Solyndra was engineered to fail on purpose "to demonstrate how solar energy doesn't make sense". If they'd done linear solar thermal arrays, there would be no failure. A hybrid pal of conventional fueled power plants, linear solar thermal is relatively cheap and easy to install as adjuncts in areas with even moderate amounts of Winter sunshine.

Fields of photo voltaic panels are very costly. The silly fields with the tall central tower with a bunch of flat mirrors distant from it are beyond hilarious. They were a stunt where the engineers must have had a very strong stomach while drawing out those ordered-blueprints. The streamlined linear solar thermal arrays with parabolic reflectors very close to the source they're heating are already palling up with conventional power plants to reduce carbon footprints.

I notice you guy are concentrating on Solyndra when it's the GOP that is throwing out money to the tune of a half billion.

Funny how you don't care about that.

Like deficits. Suddenly a tax cut for billionaires will cost trillions. But that's OK. When Republicans do it, it's OK.

Republicans are bad. They are racist. They are trying to take healthcare from millions of Americans. Tax cuts for Billionaires. Cut school lunches for poor children. Look at what they are doing to Puerto Rico. They lie. They are heartless and they are the home of Nazi's and Alt right.
Tell me something good they've done in the last 30 years.
The only thing they come up with is stuff like "we elected Trump" or "we didn't vote for Hillary" or some other nonsense.

Oh, this just keeps getting better and better.

Once again you’re being a dishonest c*nt.

Solyndra received a half billion dollar loan from the Hussein’s corrupt Federal government, then proceeded to go out of business and leaving taxpayers with the bill.

Whitefish was awarded a contract to do work by Puerto Rico. If they don’t do the work, they won’t get paid.

So enough with the phony outrage.

In other words it was a success.
