Trump Admin Recovers Taxpayer Cash from Obsolete Obama-Backed Solar Plant
The Department of Energy reached a settlement Thursday to recover $200 million in taxpayer funds from a loan the Obama administration distributed in 2011 to finance a $1 billion solar power plant that was deemed obsolete before it could officially go online.

Not nearly as bad as a $767 million dollar loan to Kodak, which is essentially a startup company in the industry.

I’m no fan of government involvement in private business but getting manufacturing back in America is a good thing.

Drug manufacturing and solar panel manufacturing.

Yeah, because both are equally important.
When I or a loved one gets sick, I hope I can find a solar panel made in America.

Germany lost world War II mostly because of energy. They couldn't get access to developed oil fields. If they had managed to reach and control Baku, the entire war would have been different.
If God forbid, we ever have to go to war with China, we will not want to be relying on them for energy resources like solar panels.

Wow, you're starting to sound like a Trumpette. Next you'll tell us that unrestricted illegal immigration is a threat to the American job market!

Except, promoting domestic production of solar panels was Obama's idea.
Illegal immigration, by its very name, is a threat to the rule of law. But in some cases, there isn't any good reason for it to be illegal. When times are good and unemployment is low, it should be easier for people to come here and work legally.
