Solyndra Meltdown

摘要

photovoltaic panels are at the heart of a new scandal in Washington, one that threatens to undermine the Obama administration's support of alternative energy. Solyndra, a California-based solar-panel manufacturer, declared bankruptcy in August, after receiving some $535 million in federal loan guarantees since 2009. Critics, in particular Republicans, have accused the administration of fast-tracking the loans without due diligence.
