    Try as you might, we come back to the question:

    Now answer my question.

    Solyndra, Evergreen Solar Inc and SpectraWatt. There's three, please name what other companies have filed chapter 11 after receiving stimulus funds that would negate what I said "Bulk of".

    A simple yes or no will do.

    I posted mine. Now it's your turn, but you can't muster your argument. I have tried time and again to get you to back up your statement. Now you won't post to the contrary of mine. You have one more chance top prove me wrong. Concede or be declared loser.

    Who is going to build a coal fired plant, maintain a coal fired plant, staff a coal fired plant that you are not going to be running at full capacity. How are you going to pay for it while it is just sitting there?

    And how does the cost of using these compare to the cost of supplying them power from a coal plant or a nuclear plant out in the field where they use these?

    No one says there are NO, NONE, NADA use for solar power or solar cells. But they are specialize uses, like charging a battery during to day to light a remote road sign. It is when it has to compete against conventional source it can't compete and government shouldn't be spending money that could be spent on more efficient usage, money the taxpayer must provide subsidizing it.

    I already posted that evergreen got stimulus money. Your lack of comprehending the written word doesn't mean evergreen didn't get stimulus money, only you don't understand that they did.

    Now answer my question.

    If it needs to be guaranteed by government, then, yes, it is.

    Same thing.

    "Loan guarantees, insofar as the issue of inflation is concerned, are virtually indistinguishable from on-budget financing, and that the major cause of inflation into this country has been an excessive amount of credit preemption, largely in the area of guarantees, which . . . has created excessive monetary growth and is the base of inflation in the system." - Alan Greenspan

    Citizens get inflation, those who are politically connected get their businesses bailed out or their reckless investments protected at taxpayer expense.
