redgreenandblue.org — A loan guarantee of $535 million will go to Solyndra Inc., which will expand its production of photovoltaic systems in Fremont, Calif. The money will cover 75-percent of the project costs but will yield up to 15 gigawatts of electricity and save some 300 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

Hopefully these new alternative energy and emerging technology companies will start to fill the void left by the bloated, conglomerated, outdated, backwards minded auto companies who were once the driving force behind innovation. PS. no pun or grammar indented

I'm with you THETEH, this could prove to be a great initiative for the country to undertake, both financially and socially.

This article fills me with hope. It leaves a much better impression of Secretary Chu's dynamism than the article I just read in the NY Times which portrays a more lackluster appointee who the reporter regards as over his head. <a class="user" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/23/us/politics/23chu.html?hpw" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/23/us/politics/23ch ...</a> Normally I like the NY Times. But this time redgreenblue.org outclassed them by staying focused on the bigger more important picture.
