Earlier this year, we learned that $535 million in taxpayer-funded energy loans were not enough to keep solar panel-maker Solyndra afloat. In just the past few days, we’ve learned of three more firms meeting similar fates and discovered evidence of general fraud in the loan program. What do these multiple examples of wasted money tell us? Is the administration just guilty of making poor investments or did it deliberately spend money on failing firms because they fit an ideological agenda? What answers do lawmakers want from Energy Secretary Steven Chu when he testifies later this month? We discuss it all with Colorado. Rep. Cory Gardner, a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and it’s investigations subcommittee.
