For those of you who aren't aware of it there are quite a few "government loans" that were given out in the name of "green energy" and as a result with the exception of very few companies all others have failed.

Here is a list taken off the Department of Energy Website. Do you think it's right for our government to give all this money away and in return get nothing for it?
