Just keep giving the billions to oil companies. They'll never fail.

Ever since the 70s people have been saying solar is all that and through our taxes being passed to solar companies we've each been forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on solar, but forty years later it's still only useful in situations where you can't run a regular power line.
Solar IS useful - for running a weather station in death valley where there are no power lines. If it was capable of providing mass electricity, shouldn't we be seeing some of that after forty years and hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies?
Solyndra and all of these other scams aren't about solar power. They knew before they got the money, and the government was told, that they would be shutting down their attempt to make solar systems. There is memo after memo stating clearly that the companies were closing their doors. Tne Obama administration just asked Solyndra to keep the layoffs secret until the day after the 2010 election. It was all about giving your money to Obama donors.
