#1 "Throw them all out!" Advice appropriate for the times.
How about pitchforks, tar and feathers, long stints at the Greybar Hotel too?

#3 google has invested $100M in the company also.

Brightsource has had some success selling their products to large oil companies who use it to make steam for enhanced oil recovery.

The project that scored the $1.4 B loan (not grant) is a risky one. It scales up the existing plant design by more than an order of magnitude.

Also, the number of permanent jobs will be about 100 not the figure that Breitbart uses.

#4 Nice to know (most already knew), that these F-Wads were burrowing in and getting themselves embedded for huge profit skimming. I've been seething for a decade; there's absolutely no end in sight to their perfidy.
