Where have I heard that name recently?
Oh yea. Now I remember.

- - A123 Systems ??? the taxpayer-funded electric vehicle battery manufacturer that famously shipped duds to Fisker Automotive, which caused one of its luxurious Karma EVs to shut down just before a Consumer Reports test ??? is now the defendant in an investor class action lawsuit and its stock has tanked to below $1. - -

It saddens me so...
...to think that these vanity-playthings for the 1%-ers financed by borrowing billions of dollars in my name (and built in Finland, stimulating their economy instead of mine) are showing up at their buyer's doors defective. Fortunately, their buyers, unlike the rest of us, don't have to rely upon them as their primary transportation.

Another epic-fail for our "green" policy, and prime example of crony-capitalism at its worst.

Other bankruptcies
You seem to have missed a few other bankruptcies. Not only Solyndra, but also Abound Solar, Energy Conversion Devices, BrightSource, LSP Energy, Evergreen Solar, Ener1, SunPower, Beacon Power, ECOtality, A123, Uni-Solar, Azure Dynamics, and Solar Trust.

A truly amazing record.

1 thing in common.
I have not looked at A 123, but the last time I looked it up, all the rest of these companies were union shops.

Non-union solar companies seem to be doing better as the market matures.
