Solyndra Sequel: 'We're Back in Business' with $4 Billion
Energy Loans

On Wednesday, the U.S. Energy Department announced it
will begin doling out $4 billion in taxpayer-funded loan aid to renewable
energy companies.
"We're back in
business," Peter Davidson,
executive director of the department's loan programs office, told Reuters. "We really want to go back to ... doing very
valuable work for our economy going forward."
Obama's controversial DOE green
energy loan program sparked a firestorm when Government Accountability Institute (GAI) President Peter Schweizer revealed that 80% of all $20.5 billion in DOE loans were given to Obama's top campaign donors. In his New
York Times bestseller Throw
Them All Out, Schweizer called the Obama
green energy loan slush fund "the greatest--and most expensive--example of
crony capitalism in American history."
The Obama administration, however,
now says that in the wake of the Schweizer revelations and the Solyndra scandal that funneled $535
million in loan guarantees to Obama bundler George Kaiser, the DOE has
implemented improved due diligence and loan oversight practices.
Supporters of free market
competition ask why the Obama administration is using taxpayer money to invest
in favored companies with crony connections at a time when the U.S. national
debt is at $17,581,532,044,819.00 and climbing.
