Solopower up and coming

     I truly believe solar power has its place in industry and  for the personal homeowner/offgrid homesteader as well. Solar energy shares the same struggle with economics as does homegrown oil and gas production. In spite of cost though many have invested in solar arrays and even wind turbines for their personal use with great success, I intend to be one myself. Technological improvements such as Solopower is demonstrating will only make it more feasible for the "little man" to eventually supply all the electrical power needed for practical homestead uses. More POWER to the solar field!

Solyndra? No more. US Energy Loan Program...

After Solyndra Loss, U.S. Energy Loan Program Turning A Profit http://n.pr/1qEjk0L

     It seems the energy loan program is producing a measurable amount of positive results now. Perhaps private investors would be interested in owning a part of the energy industry which may soon be an emerging sector proving to be profitable or will they just run the stock market into the ground again? They, being the greedy whoremongers they are, will no doubt bring collapse to the market next season and big losses to the smaller investors. History is the teller of the future.

Solar Boondoggle

Just one word 'Solyndra'...

In late October White House Chief of Staff William Daley (left) ordered a complete review of all loan guarantees the Department of Energy has made to various energy projects. The review “is a tacit acknowledgement that the loan program [that supported the now-bankrupt energy company Solyndra]…has raised enough internal concern that an outside assessment is necessary…”, according the Washington Post.

While the review is supposed to take 60 days and will no doubt be an attempt to whitewash failed efforts by the government to jumpstart the economy through its support of the green industry, a look at past efforts is more than sufficient to conclude that such “investments” are more properly labeled “boondoggles” and an enormous waste of taxpayer money.
