Default Another "Green" bust

Remember the collapse of tax-payer funded Solyndra?

Now the world "largest green energy company" - SunEdison - is on the verge of extinction. It is obviously on the wrong side of history.

It's a tale as sordid as Solyndra's, and greed it's undoing. The chart is worth a 1,000 words...

Not in this list??

Better story here (less hyperbole than the title of this thread):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SunEdison

Not to mention economy of scale for things like electric motors, batteries and solar panels is starting to take hold, as these things can now be produced for far less money and energy than before, undercutting companies that built their business on it. The basic principle of business is constantly evolve and improve, else someone will find a way to do what you do cheaper and better!

No I didn't forget Solyndra. To bad it wasn't just funny money being given to the chrony capitalists. I think we are running low on real $$$.

No worries Bernie will turn the tide.
