“While You’re Away on Vacation…”
Before President Obama leaves tomorrow for his Martha’s Vineyard vacation, we have a suggested day-trip he could make when he gets bored after his umpteenth round of golf and the inevitable campaign fundraiser: he could visit the millions of taxpayer dollars “invested” by the Export-Import Bank into Evergreen Solar between 2009-2010.
It’s just a 3-hour drive from Martha’s Vineyard (even quicker with Air Force One!).
Oh, wait. Nope. Never mind. He CAN’T visit Evergreen Solar.
- In 2011, the company filed for bankruptcy, packed up and moved production to China – laying off 800 workers.
Note to White House advance staff: Please don’t confuse Evergreen Solar with Solyndra, another failed “green energy” company that received Ex-Im’s corporate welfare. That’s in one of the other 57 states.
