The Real Reason Solyndra & Evergreen Solar Failed
Posted on June 5, 2012 Written by 3 Comments
Politicians love to point fingers at the other guy when something fails even if it has nothing to do with the real reasons behind the failure or collapse.

Now I find myself completely agreeing with another unlikely source, FoxNews, about how to change the price […]
