As you may have read last week, an IG report did not shed pretty light on the Solyndra management that pushed for the DOE loan guarantee. The interesting turn by the WSJ Editorial Board was to take the IG report on federal lobbying by a corporation and compare that to the non-subsidy of net metering. Apparently, the WSJ does not feel it to be appropriate for solar companies to try and make money, capitalism is apparently reserved for those that deplete resources. NV Energy is obviously not too pleased by their utility commissioners didn’t agree with their lobbying efforts and decide to go after a solar policy pro by name. A badge of honor in my opinion.
