House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.), who has criticized the administration for its failed loan guarantee to the firm Solyndra, urged the Energy Department to approve funding assistance for a Michigan solar company that said last week it is halting operations.
Upton and 13 other Michigan lawmakers sent a letter to Energy Secretary Steven Chu in December 2009 recommending Auburn Hills-based United Solar Ovonics for a loan under President Obama’s economic stimulus bill.
The hypocrisy is so thick here you can cut it with a knife. While blasting Obama for Solyndra, house Republicans sought 11.8 billion in funding for green projects in their own districts. And here is the latest case in which a Republican, attempting to make Solyndra an "Obama" scandal, supported a green project on behalf of a solar company, with the same problems as Solyndra. Is Solyndra an Obama scandal, or is this yet another case of Republican douchebaggery? You be the judge. Answer the poll.
