The Solyndra Affair

The bankruptcy of Solyndra continues to dominate talk in the renewable energy community. On Wednesday, I put my thoughts together into an article for The Atlantic. I frankly don't know much about whether this should be called a scandal or just a bankruptcy. I'll leave it to the investigators to determine whether there was anything unethical done here.

My take is that this is a company that had a bad business model, and probably deserved to go bankrupt. But - it is very important that the government continues to support clean energy in general, and solar in particular.
