Solyndra’s abrupt closure now threatens to leave behind an environmental mess

Solyndra’s abrupt closure threatens to leave behind an environmental mess. “In one picture, two large blue drums are filled with a black substance with no secure lids and covered instead with clear plastic wrap. Another photograph shows a yellow drum about the size of a large garbage can containing a yellow-brown gooey substance.” Not clean and green but dirty and yellow. No problem, the MSM’s memory hole is big enough to dump all this stuff into.

  • Communism always leaves behind an environmental mess. Anyone looked into the old communist blok in europe when the soviet empire fell? They made our old superfund sites look desirable.

  • What's the world coming to? Planned "Parenthood" killing babies; PETA killing animals and now an Environmental company polluting the land.

  • After we add up the money they got from Barry, the additional moneys paid out in bonuses (for a defunct company! REALLY?) and either store, remove, or destroy all the crap they left behnd, what will be the TOTAL bill on this fiasco?

    • San Francisco named a sewarage plant or some such thing after Bush - this should be named the Barack Hussein Obama Toxic Waste Generating Facility, but someone hearing that name might think it meant his campaign.

  • A with racism, only whitey can be racist. So goes it with pollution, only oil companies can be polluters.

    Fun Fact: Those batteries that the hybirds use are a monstrous pollution source and far worse than any petroleum product ever. But it makes stupid Liberals (BIRM) feel good, damn the actual results full speed ahead.

  • And the cycle continues. I'd bet my house that the "company" that secures the contract to clean up the mess will NOT be a GOP donor. Heck, they'll probably use the same Solyndra execs to run the shell company they create to pour another 500 million into to clean up the mess.

      • I don't knowabout this particular crap,. but a great deal of crap is being transported to a tiny Texas toan near the Rio Grande and dumped there. The place reeks, the citizens are worried about thier water (from the Rio Grande) being containated, and they just asked for clearance to build ANOTHER dump. because the current one is almost full.

          • But they don't dump it in the wide open part. THey dump it next to small towns who don't have the money or political pull to prevent it.

      • It is like a rapist being rewarded for raping as many women as he could within a certain amount of time as if that is a goal in life. Is like a thief being allowed to keep all the loot due to his prodigious thievery. It is like a murderer who is given a grant because he murdered so well. It is wrong and disgusting. People should OCCUPY them don't you think?

  • *sighs* I could laugh at the idiocy of it all, but it is so disgusting that I cannot. In order to help the environment they went about creating waste that can hurt it. Come on! And all of this WITH tax money. Amazing.
