Extensive investigations now published by congress, the media, law enforcement and the public prove that DOE staff engaged in the manipulation of applications and applicant submissions and ran criminal activities Within the Department of Energy, Facilitated by Elected & Appointed Officials, in order to favor certain investors and harm certain U.S., existing job providing, competitors.
At a time when America most needs alternative energy, a handful of people have put the whole nation at risk because of their greed and need for power. Details, data, people and programs that abused YOUR tax money to line the pockets of certain individuals and groups. The purpose of this site is to make sure that the right people go to prison and that those people are stopped from stealing public funds and delaying public projects for personal gain. Tens of thousands of pages of evidence have been provided by reporters, insiders and politicians. Use your FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) rights to get more from any agency you wish to question.
What happened?, capsule version: The Detroit auto industry and the nuclear industry ordered their lobbyists to create pre-rigged, hard-wired "Loan Guarantee" and "ATVM" cash programs to get taxpayer money, routed only to them, in order to get the American taxpayer to offset losses from their bad business efforts. The funds were facilitated by certain White House staff (Who suddenly resigned from the White House in a cluster: Gibbs, Axelrod, Rattner, Emanual, etc.), certain politicians and a special sub rosa team at the DOE. When some politicians realized this, and opened the funds up to all American businesses, the corrupt DOE fund administrators created a number of tricks to keep those competitors to Detroit (Which controls DOE along with Oil companies) & certain holdings of VC and Wall Street interests out of the running. DOE staff changed applicant data, ordered Argonne National labs, Sandia and others to manipulate reviews in order to reward certain Silicon Valley VC/bribe-makers and stop their competitors. A public review of side-by-side applications proves this.
The few companies who did get the cheap DOE funding did so by bribing officials via campaign contributions and direct favors. Goldman-Sachs participated in every one of the crooked deals in order to manipulate markets, manipulate industries and reward their friends: the "insiders" in the scam. They broke the law in order to line their pockets and create monopolistic paths at the expense of taxpayers and domestic business. All of this has now been proven with multiple points of evidence in public media, GAO, congressional and other investigations yet no action is being taken because those same parties are stopping enforcement actions as soon as they are begun. If you read all of the data now published, you will have no doubt about what happened.
It is NOT POSSIBLE for as many recipients to have received as many hundreds of millions of tax dollars and then suddenly gone out of business unless DOE lied about doing an actual, credible and fair review of the applicants. DOE said it did the largest and most expensive due diligence in human history, but if that is true: WHY DID MOST OF THEIR AWARDEES IMMEDIATELY GO OUT OF BUSINESS OR BEGIN FAKING THEIR FINANCIAL REPORTS? This is one of the thousands of documented facts that prove that the whole process was rigged to pay-out only to those whose founders and investors bribed with cash-pass-alongs via their law firms and lobbyists.
Who made the money? The "finders", founders, law firms and investment banks who packaged the deals, grabbed their cash off the top and ran.
Banks & car companies who did get the money are now in a desperate scramble to "look like" they are trying to pay it back in order to cut off the direct view that government investigators have into their books and provide grist for election news. We maintain that the dirt is already on the ground and that "real" investigations will eventually show who benefited illegally.

This is not about one political party or another. People from both parties engaged in these crimes over money. Winning the current battle is about who has the moral will to fire, indict and prosecute those who did these things.
Most of the applicants are prepared to testify in open hearings that they: were lied to; purposely delayed in order to favor those who paid influence money, had their submission data manipulated; offered better products for a lower loan request than those who got loans; had a more secure financial future; were illegally moved out of sequence in the "first-come" requirement of the law; offered more American jobs than those who got loans; and other facts proving corruption within the D.O.E. There has always been enough money in the pot to fund all of the applicants but they were blockaded for political and competitor reasons. Some of the applicants are now providing data to law enforcement agencies.
What is the endgame?
The final results of the investigations will reveal that there was a systematized and illegal sub rosa program to control the winners and losers of certain markets and technology approaches by manipulating information for the financial and political advantage of those running the program. The operators of the illegal program were staff within the White House, the U.S. Department of Energy and certain companies. The program was entirely pay-to-play and pay-to-delay-your-competitors.

Key Facts:Who worked together to manipulate the process?
A. Large Detroit Car Companies (The "Big 3" and their investors). B. Specific Silicon Valley VC firms. C. Specific Wall Street Banking Firms. D. A small group of elected and appointed officials. E. Consulting firms hired by the above including IBM. F. White House Staff THE FACTS PROVE THAT ONLY THOSE WHOSE INVESTORS AND FOUNDERS BRIBED GOT FUNDING! How much of YOUR TAX MONEY money has been manipulated by these people, to date? $56 BIllion and counting Which state did almost all of the money go to even though most of the applicants with job needs were from across America? Michigan, the state the authors of the Section 136 bill live in. What was the key tool for manipulating applicants? Falsified review process and permanent frozen review process. Even though State & Federal investigations have published reports confirming the charges in this website, why has nothing been done to help the applicants or jail the perps? Because the ones who did this are in both parties and each side threatens retribution to the other side if they target their people. A public request for a law enforcement investigation is required. The BIG STORY is still to come...Investigations have been encouraged to call the rejected applicants to the hearings. Almost all of them have stated that they will disclose criminal and/or unethical actions by those involved.

ARCHIVE STORY: U.S. House panel may subpoena Solyndra over loan
Jim Snyder, Bloomberg News Bloomberg June 24, 2011 04:00 AM Copyright Bloomberg. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed. Paul Chinn / The Chronicle 2010 Solyndra CEO Chris Gronet (right) with Vice President Ben Bierman (left) explains solar technology to President Obama at the Solyndra solar panel company in Fremont last year. A House panel may seek a subpoena for Obama administration documents related to a $535 million loan guarantee to Solyndra Inc. in Fremont, which closed a factory after winning the aid, a lawmaker said. An investigation by the House Energy and Commerce Committee is being thwarted because the administration hasn't responded to lawmaker requests, said Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla. Jeffrey Zients, deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, didn't show up as scheduled for a hearing Friday on the agency's role in the loan. Stearns, chairman of the Energy Committee's oversight and investigations panel, said Republicans would work with Democrats to get information from the White House within two weeks. Republicans are focusing on Solyndra in overseeing the federal stimulus program that included the loan guarantee. "I think the next step would be a subpoena," Stearns told reporters after a hearing at which members read statements. Zients sent Stearns a letter Thursday saying his office isn't stonewalling the committee. The Office of Management and Budget provided two briefings and "detailed responses to each specific question posed by your staff," he wrote. The Energy Department also gave the panel more than 20,000 pages related to the Solyndra loan, Zients wrote. The committee is seeking e-mails among OMB officials about the loan-guarantee decision. Closely held Solyndra makes cylindrical thin-film solar panels. It used the loan guarantee awarded Sept. 9, 2009, to build a new manufacturing facility. "Subsequent events raise questions about whether Solyndra was the right candidate to receive a loan guarantee in excess of half a billion dollars," Stearns and committee chairman Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., wrote Energy Secretary Steven Chu on Feb. 17. Republicans cited Solyndra's closing of an old manufacturing facility and its June 2010 decision to cancel a $300 million initial public offering as signs showing the company may not have been qualified for the guarantee. The Energy Department estimated the solar manufacturing facility would create 3,000 construction jobs and 1,000 permanent positions. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., said Zients was willing to testify. He wasn't available Friday, she said. A call to the Office of Management and Budget wasn't immediately returned. Republican statements that Solyndra won the federal backing because of political favoritism were completely unsupported by the documents the Energy Department and the Office of Management and Budget have provided, DeGette said.

By Ronnie Greene and Matthew Mosk and Jeremy Borden May 24, 2011 The Obama administration bypassed steps meant to protect taxpayers as it hurried to approve its first energy loan guarantee for a politically-connected California solar power startup. The Obama administration’s budget office dodged a deadline Friday to hand over subpoenaed documents sought as part of a congressional investigation into a politically-connected solar panel manufacturer. The Office of Budget and Management didn’t send over the requested documents—internal emails, memos and letters from OMB and anything in their possession from other offices—demanded in the subpoena from a House energy subcommittee on July 14 . But OMB promised to make a “substantial” number of internal documents and emails available for committee staff to review, said OMB spokesman Kenneth Baer. The House panel is looking into whether Solyndra, a California-based solar panel maker, improperly gained a $535 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy. Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee have sought answers about the decision to award the guarantee, especially given the turn of events after Solyndra won the public support. Financial difficulties forced the company to shutter a plant, lay off workers and cancel a planned initial public offering. iWatch News reported in May that Obama administration officials bypassed measures meant to protect taxpayers in awarding the large loan guarantee to Solyndra. The committee released a statement that said, “The subpoena was clear and provided a generous 7-day deadline, yet OMB failed to turn over a single page. The committee has exercised extraordinary patience and it’s well past time for OMB to abandon the gamesmanship and finally turn over the documents that we have been seeking since March 14." Baer said the OMB withheld some documents because “There’s a general concern that when the executive branch makes internal documents and deliberations available to outside people … for those [executive branch] workers they feel this is going to have a chilling effect on their ability to deliberate on other matters [in the future].” He also said some subpoenaed documents contain financial and other sensitive information. Baer said the documents show civil servants who “are people who take their integrity extremely seriously. There was no political interference to tell them what to do or how to do their job. There was no pressure to rubber stamp this transaction. It confirms that OMB and DOE did a careful, diligent review.” He would not say whether OMB had handed over all the documents the House subcommittee asked for, but said that discussions were ongoing about making even more documents available. Solyndra’s prime financiers include Oklahoma oil billionaire George Kaiser, a “bundler” of campaign donations who raised at least $50,000 for the president’s 2008 election effort. Kaiser has declined interview requests about the Solyndra loan guarantee. Solyndra has said politics played no role in its award, and Energy Department officials said each loan guarantee was awarded after careful review. Meanwhile, on the eve of the subpoena deadline, Solyndra President and CEO Brian Harrison pitched the company’s business story to members of Congress and journalists in Washington. Harrison presented a slide show with a heading: “The real story about Solyndra.” His talk was meant to counter perceptions that the $535 million energy loan guarantee, the first awarded under the Obama administration, was a misfire of public funds. Harrison, hired as CEO one year ago, said the California solar panel company, which specializes in the commercial rooftop market, has seen a steady growth in business and recently enjoyed a record quarter for shipments. “We are growing,” he said. “We are hiring people.” The government financing, he said, was crucial, coming at a time the commercial market was bone dry. “There just was no money flowing back in 2009,” Harrison said. Without the support, he said, “Our forward-looking prospects would be dim.” Harrison noted that the company first applied under Bush, though it won the funding under Obama. Harrison said politics were not a factor in Solyndra landing the prized financial support. “Diligence, investigation, evaluation went on for two years, nine months before we were finally given the approval,” he said. Harrison said he met this week with politicians from both parties. He said the company’s interactions were with the Department of Energy, not the OMB, and that Solyndra has not taken a position on the subpoena itself. Instead, he focused on Solyndra’s business story. The company has also spent $930,000 lobbying in recent years, according to data compiled by the Sunlight Foundation. “I’m not a political guy,” he said. “I’m just trying to grow our business.” ARCHIVE STORY: Nuclear Industry RIGGED DOE Loan Guarantee Program:
As we now know: Ford, Chrysler & GM created and rigged the DOE ATVM loan program to line their pockets and keep out competitors, the nuclear industry created and rigged the DOE LOAN GAURANTEE program to do the same for the nuke industry by directing funds to themselves and keeping out competing alternative energy applicants. Most "nuclear regulators" turn out to actually be advocates for the nuclear industry with past, present or future incentives directed to them from the nuclear industry. This new investigation from Dow Jones & CBO, Reveals more: US Undercharges For Nuclear Loan Guarantees -Congressional Report By Ryan Tracy, Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- The U.S. government is charging far less than would be demanded on the open market for loan guarantees to build nuclear plants, exposing taxpayers to additional risk, congressional analysts have found. The findings of the Congressional Budget Office, part of a report released Wednesday, fostered doubt about a crucial subsidy at a time when the administration of President Barack Obama is looking to expand it as part of an effort to help the nuclear industry build the first new U.S. plants in decades. The report shows the current structure of the Energy Department's nuclear loan guarantee program "could expose taxpayers to the risk of billion-dollar bailouts," Rep. Elijah Cummings (D., Md.) and Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D., Ohio) said Wednesday in a letter to Energy Secretary Steven Chu. Kucinich requested the CBO report last year. The Energy Department has so far backed only one nuclear power plant under the program. In February 2010, it offered to support $8.33 billion in loans for Southern Co. (SO) to add two new reactors at its Vogtle plant in Georgia. Other companies are targeting an additional $11 billion that Congress has made available for nuclear loan guarantees, and the Obama administration has asked to add $36 billion to that pot. But if changes are made to the program, it could raise the up-front costs for applicants. When the Energy Department guarantees a loan, it charges borrowers to compensate for the risk of default. Such fees can add significant costs to a project. The CBO report found that the Energy Department fees were "significantly lower" than what a private guarantor would charge for a project with similar risk. While the department would peg the fees at between 1% and 6% of the cost of the loan guarantee, a fair market value would range from 9% to 21%, the report said. In addition, it may be "impossible" for taxpayers to get a fair value, the CBO said, because raising the fees could drive away companies that are well- positioned to pay taxpayers back. The White House Office of Management and Budget noted that the model the government uses to calculate the fees is required by law. "As the CBO report confirms, this Administration is following the law that governs how agencies make their calculations," said Meg Reilly, an OMB spokeswoman. The CBO report also said that investing in a nuclear power plant "engenders considerable risk." Wednesday's report "underscores the fact that it is very risky for the federal government to be providing a taxpayer-backed loan guarantee to electric utility companies to construct a new nuclear power plant," said Rep. Ed Markey (D., Mass.), a longtime critic of nuclear power, in a statement. Kucinich and Cummings, who sit on the House Oversight Committee, asked for a meeting with Chu to discuss the CBO findings. The department said it is reviewing the letter. |
