Sep14 Darrell Issa: SO "UP IN SMOKE" NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN: today, the US House of Representatives passed the "No More Solyndras Act," which will put an end to the President's failed "green energy" loan program. What has that failed program cost American taxpayers so far? Solyndra, $535M gone. Abound Solar, $400M gone. Ener1, $118.5M gone. Beacon Power, $43M gone...that's your hard-earned money down the drain. Here's what Darrell had to say:
“The operations of the Department of Energy’s loan guarantee program was rife with mismanagement and serious violations of federal law. Department officials illegally altered the terms of Solyndra’s loan agreement to advantage individuals who were invested in the company and political supporters of the President. American taxpayers lost millions. Congress needs to diligently protect how the government spends the hard-earned money of the American taxpayers. Passing the No More Solyndras Act holds the Administration and DOE officials accountable and provides greater transparency to prevent future failures like Solyndra.”
