The Solyndra scandal continues to unfold and the biggest casualty may be Federal "Green Energy" policies. Congressional newspaper The Hill reports that the scandal threatens support in Congress for the federal loan program involved. Politico reports that "Solyndra Vexes Obama Green Agenda."
But don't worry, the environmental nomenklatura has sprung into action to let you know what you should be thinking. No this isn't just another example of crony capitalism (or some would say crony socialism). In fact, Grist tells us that the scandal "has nothing to do with the facts." Mother Jones provides a handy "How to talk about Solyndra" for the left and the confused (or both). Minnesota non-profit Fresh Energy wants everyone to calm down and keep the "big picture" in mind. The big picture? The subsidies are still needed.
The Solyndra scandal provides a real "teaching moment." Let's not let it slip by to protect a few vested interest.
