Great viewpoints from both sides in the USA Today with regard to DOE loans. In my opinion, both viewpoints can be correct. In both Fisker’s and Solyndra’s case, significant private capital was invested alongside taxpayers. Unfortunately the capital lost on a several large transaction has pushed capital away from smaller deals today in downstream development/financing companies. That money should come back because the opportunity is large and lucrative.
