Seriously? Solyndra was being hailed as the pinnacle of American technology, during Obama’s era.

When it closed up shop, people were blaming China, again, for stealing American technology, and putting another good American company out of business.

But from your description, it sounds like Solyndra was a scam to part investors and the American government, with their money.
