Everyone doesn't know the Solyndra timeline but hopefully they will by the next election.
Good grief. Maybe you'll learn it, too. The Energy Department eventually approved the loan (after Bush tried to get it pushed through without adequate due diligence, and Energy refused) after Solyndra lied to the government and falsified the additional paperwork Energy asked for. The majority of key investors in Solyndra were Republicans, btw.

The majority investor was George Kaiser. Show me the list of Republicans please.

BTW if your statement had any truth to it do you think Republicans would be pushing Chu and Co. as they are?

It's nice to see you admit your ignorance of the subject. I've posted that twice for you, here, previously.

Major investors included George Kaiser Foundation, U.S. Venture Partners, CMEA Ventures, Redpoint Ventures, Virgin Green Fund, Madrone Capital Partners, RockPort Capital Partners, Argonaut Private Equity, Masdar and Artis Capital Management.

You'll just have to do a little investigation, to see who owns all those investment companies. In fact, all you have to do is google "Solyndra", and ignore any hits off right-wing blogs.

Sigh ... the Republicans are desperate to try something, anything, to attack Obama for the election. But of course, that can't possibly be the reason the only people who think there is a "scandal" is Red State, Big Government, and Faux News.

LOL - "better positioned" than an internet company? Yeah, who would have thought that getting into the energy business was probably a step too far for an internet search engine?

In the energy industry? Yes, they are.
