Maybe we should try to get ahead of this, mon. Here is a list of the DOE's loan guarantees:
The Loan Programs Office is one of the largest and most active project finance operations in the world and, since 2009, has supported a robust, diverse portfolio of more nearly 40 projects. Projects include the world’s largest wind farm, several of the world’s largest solar generation facilities, one of the country’s first commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol plants, and the first new nuclear power plant in the U.S. in the last three decades. Collectively, these projects plan to employ more than 60,000 Americans, create additional tens of thousands of indirect jobs, provide enough clean electricity to power three million homes, and save more than 300 million gallons of gasoline a year. Many of these projects are first-of-a-kind that, when completed, can be replicated entirely but the private sector across the U.S., creating even more jobs and increasing our nation’s ability to compete successfully in this critical field on a global basis.

Solyndra and NGP are two losers on this list. I think it's time for some real due diligence on the others.
We already know that SolarReserve is connected with Nancy Pelosi and one of the Solyndra partners. http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/crony-capitalism-737-million-green-jobs-loan-given-nancy-pelosis-brother-law_594593.html
We know that Abengoa is a Spanish company.
