when you lead an anti intellectual movement that equates any type of progress in our energy policy as a tax, and spend your free time spawning an army of young earth creationists, the Indians and Chinese begin to salivate as to how "stupid" americans are and how soon they can take over our infrastructure investments. We will be kicking ourselves down the road when we fall even further behind on solar because the mouth breathers from the tea party blocked any kind of energy and infrastructure spending in the US. SO so not act shcked that foreign investors are picking up the slack, when we had the opportunity to create millions of jobs and take the lead in this movement, especially now that interests rates are going back up and the supply of "free' money is coming to an end.
yet another opportunity wasted.

Any American should understand the magnitude of allowing China to build
an energy resource on our home land. Any politcian that would support such an act should be outed. Reid is looking out himself and how he can add to his million dollar bank account.
Another reason to face our growing debt and realize that China wants to collect. If they are pushing this solar panel structure they don't just see it as a way to collect, they are looking at control. wake up

then we need to wake up and pay for this ourselves.
china is not cashing in its debt, in fact it holds very little of our treasury bonds. We are moving toward a green energy movement in this country, whether you like it or not.
If our government is going to get #### blocked by the mouth breathers in congress, and american investors are too busy playing on the wall street casinos to invest in our country's future, this is what you end up with. Germany is already spending 100's of billions building toll roads and fixin our bridges in this country, where was the outcry for that?
But again, despite paying the lowest tax rates in 80 years under Bush, we apparently were paying too much and could not afford to update our own energy grids and fix our infrastructure. And god knows we should not raise rates back up to over 50% on the wealthy, because they are providing such a wonderful task creating jobs in this country(biggest load of BS to come out of the right in decades) and we would not want to ruin that either.
Thank you tea party

if they don't feel like shooting any more money up liberal unicorn, green energy butts.
And, everybody knows it's the poor folks that are creating jobs and signing paychecks. Don't rub it in.

You can than the EPA for lots of energy road blocks. Some not all bad!
I was part of one the very first solo powered pushes ever on a college campus. Green energy wont solve all our energy lag. OUr energy companies are doing a pretty good job, and would probably have cheaper energy if epa would calm down. They have done it cleaner than China too!
Do you really think it's a good idea for America to allow China to have a go at that? China and Germany are as different as night and day. Their current president is a conservative not a communist. They also have the best economy in Europe.

Chinese + Solar = intellectual.
Cynical toward Chinese = neanderthal.
Rancher says no, grazing harms nothing = neanderthal.
We came from nothing = intellectual
God created this (creationist) = neanderthal.
How m'I doin'?

I much rather watch this country further bankrupt itself over rising fuel costs while the rest of the world advances further ahead of us with technology.
again, thank you tea party for blocking this administration at every turn when it came to investing in alternative energy strategies. I guess if Jesus wanted us to use solar, he would have buried the panels in the ground for us to find.

So you would like for China to own a big part of our energy source within our country? I see that as too risky. They may be a business partner on some fronts, but they are still a communist country that we cautiously watch daily.

no, I would like to see us invest the money, whether it be throough government or the private sector. Unfortunately investors in this country will not put their money in anything that does not turn a profit in 3-5 years, they rather play the markets. And government has been blocked at every turn. However, doing nothing would be far worse and allowing outside money seems to be the only solution.
And China only owns 9 percent of our debt, most of our debt is held by people in this country.

Re: Does the name Solyndra ring a bell?
Apr 13, 2014, 10:46 PM

only about 60% of government funded start-ups succeed, even less so with all he money that was dumped into the transistor and microprocessor tech during the 60's for the space program. Imagine if we had not spent that money, where would we be now?
Using Solyndra as the only example for solar would be short sited to say the least, and the bottom line is that they got undercut by china and were playing catch-up. We should have poured a lot more money into this, and a lot sooner. China spends 10x what we do on solar tech, yet you act surprised we are now dependent on them for this tech.
as it stands now, we can either drown in rising energy costs down the road, or depend on foreign investors that are ahead of us. Don't even get me started on education.

millions went missing from Solyndra that was unaccounted for. So that sounds like crooks and cronies to me.
It's fine to spend on research, but not half-baked companies that leave acres of abandoned scrap that someone like us has to pay for cleaning up.

That is one example.
So your solution would to do nothing. Not invest the money, nor depend on those that did. Exactly where do you think that will leave is in 20 years?
you cant have it both ways.

with contractors who are fully capable of doing the work, but also have to have a certain percentage of diversity in their workforce.
Over 90% of government software projects over $10 million are failures.
As taxpayers, we should expect better performance than that.
