#3 Currently, Congress, the Department of Energy, and the FBI are investigating the Solyndra loan.

The WH rejected a Congressional subpoena. And how much investigating are we going to see from the FBI and DOE since they are within the Obummer administration? BO used taxpayer money to fund failing green firms in return for campaign donations from people who ran these companies?

#4 >"the true engine of economic growth will always be companies like Solyndra."

This just shows how AWFUL his economics is. The true engine of economic growth is free exchange, ie. comparative advantage. C.A. is harmed by taxes on incomes, investments, savings, purchases and employment.

#5 Secretary Chu will likely 'take responsibility' for his failure to monitor the process and promise that all problems are being solved but will hem and haw when it comes to giving real information about the process of approving the loan (and even worse the loan supplemental agreement which left the govt last in line as a creditor).
