Gov't Loans

[Rickb]

Wonder how those solar panel arrays (see picture in story < http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...beleaguered-solar-industry/?intcmp=latestnews >) are going to hold up when hit by a Cat 3 or 4 storm

Don't know, but engineering and build quality may have it covered. I can only hope for the success of all alternative energy business options and ATVMs as well. It's always good to have options to insure our future needs are met.

The word is out. you can't be reasoned with because your supposed knowledge and conclusions are not based on anything really substantive or real. Your windmill chatter is pure hyperbole. I'll beat you a thousand times over with btuh of one ounce of petrol. Go hug Al gore and save a polar bear from from his ice island. YOur hopeless. A gov loan is not a liberal idea.

you can't refute a single claim in my quote

Repugs in the solyndra business said govt shouldn't be in the business of picking winners and losers, as in making govt loans. FACT.

just as a technical point, EM is seeking a loan guarantee, not a government loan .... the money will come from private lending sources .... payback is guaranteed by the government ....

taxpayers are still on the hook if EM goes bust, defaults on the loan

that is correct .... I believe that if they get the loan, the chance of them defaulting is very, very small

satx, Your continued use of the term "Repugs" after have been advised it is offensive is unacceptable.
If you want to discuss the bad loans that were made to Fisker and Solyndra without adequate oversight fine.
If you want to debate whether or not they were improperly made because of political influence we can do that also.
If you feel you must use slander to make you case you will loose you argument.

I can't speak for everyone, but I vote we don't debate bad federal loans in this forum. That's what the rest of the Internet is for.

There goes our money...

LOL, if only solar industry got 1% of what oil, gas, and coal industry have gotten through the years in direct and indirect subsidies! We'd be fully independent from our oil dealers for 25 years now.

Wait a minute, If it wasn't for Al Gore there would be no internet and we wouldn't be having this internet chat.
