Re: "America" / Letters to The Editor, Feb. 16
Characterizing Biden as "an incompetent environmental specialist" and dredging up the old Solyndra yarn shows a poor understanding of this country's recent past, as well as our current energy and climate woes. It's knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Solyndra was a California solar startup that went belly up, defaulting on an Obama era DOE green tech loan. One of the many who didn't, interestingly enough, included an obscure EV hopeful named Tesla. What was known at the time as the Tea Party (MAGA's antecedent) relentlessly clutched their pearls in oil-drenched outrage of alleged government waste. Never mind that their much-beloved ongoing Iraq War (you know: the one that was actually an attempted oil grab disguised as an anti-terrorism operation) cost this country dearly, including about the same amount of cash as the entire much-ballyhooed Solyndra episode . . . but daily. So much for balanced budgets.
