Solyndra's High-tech Plant To Be Sold

Velcroman1 writes, quoting Fox News: "For sale: manufacturing and office facility with 411,618 square feet, state of the art electrical, air, and power distribution systems — and a troubled past. As part of its bankruptcy proceedings, Solyndra is reportedly very close to landing a buyer for its mammoth, high-tech production plant in Fremont, Calif. The listing agent recently gave Fox News a tour of what the new owners will get for their multi-million dollar investment. Now the once-bustling offices, conference rooms, and cubicles are eerily quiet as the facility is 'decommissioned,' according to Greg Matter with Jones Lang LaSalle realty. One wonders about the conversations held, and emails written, in the corner office formerly occupied by CEO Brian Harrison."

more importantly the only reason

fox news is touring this old factory is because it helps further their agenda of demonizing the president and the democratic party. Nevermind the fact that during the housing crisis thousands of cities, states, and even the federal government were burned on taxpayer-backed loans and grants for housing developments. forget about the fact that the automotive bailout and the banking bailout were both passed carte-blanc by a a republican president that spent more than any other president in modern history. This investment, solyindra, is a double whammy for the republican party. Not only did it seek to pioneer alternative energy, it used tax dollars to do it and failed spectacularly.

it didnt fail because the technology didnt work, or the management ran over budget, or the government was overbilled as in the case of so many halliburton and other defense industry contracts. the project failed, ironically in part, because of a mixture of economic policies that began with reagan and saught to chisel apart the manufacturing foundation that made america a land of equality and prosperity. Each president elected in succession more a corporate shill than a representative of the people. Bill enacted NAFTA, George fought to keep the cheap chinese merch flowing, and obama now has the audacity to act shocked when a fledgling american industry is crushed in the face of foreign industry to which we've all but outsourced our very souls.
 
  instead of blaming our suckling reliance on china, or our completely broken 2 party system, we just bitch that obama is wasting our tax dollars, and pretend the other guy up for election wouldnt do the exact same fucking thing because we forget solyindra was a project that got its start with "the other party."

its the same shit sandwich, just different bread. cap and trade? republican idea. private healthcare mandate? republican idea. its just my opinion, but im getting pretty convinced this is all just its a house of old white people who just want to make it to retirement and die the richest. theyre willing to lie, cheat, and steal to make that happen. Thanks to cable tv stations like fox news we're taught to look only at the other party as a viable alternative, whereas 250 years ago if any member of government tried some of the blatantly treasonous shit we routinely see they would be crucified until no more than their bleached bones decorated the countryside.

this is getting off topic. i dont care
im not a ron paul supporter but its change. its not left, its not right, and some of the ideas are frightening, but its a form of change that obviously frightens the right people, because you never see him on television in an honest interview. Ron Paul is to the presidental race each year as the blooper real is to the horror film, or the comedy relief is to the action flick, and theres an entire system in place to ensure each and every ron paul remains this way.

id be willing to give him a shot. i might not like everything i get, but the big points about the fed and the military, i think i could work with just getting those.
