Solyndra and the Green Jobs Economy
Ken James/Bloomberg
A processing technician works at the Solyndra plant in Fremont on November 23, 2010.
President Obama visited solar panel manufacturer Solyndra last year, gave the Fremont company $500 million in loan guarantees and touted it as a perfect example of how to create green jobs. But the company abruptly closed its doors this week, throwing 1,100 employees out of work and raising questions about the vitality of the "green jobs" economy.
