The imperial arrogancy of DOE HQ for all to see:

"On Oct. 18, the DOE informed the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which is leading the investigation into the Solyndra scandal, that it would not allow the committee to perform depositions of DOE officials, including Susan Richardson, chief counsel of the DOE Loan Programs Office."


It's time to start up the Congressional special investigations office and pull up the rug hiding all the dirt over at DOE HQ. Shame on you, Dr. Chu.

So you want the world to burn down? Yeah, that's pretty sane. I bet you're the hunting/fishing/trapping survivalist loser who hates education. Go get 'em, Clem. I hope your kids are with their Mother.

Huhh? The point was that the DOE scandal is just a bunch of hot air. A simple look on the internet will show that the crazy accusations are just that. All this done just to make Obama look bad. I am no fan of the bureaucratic nature of DOE but in this case they are right. Look all you have to know is that Joe Barton is behind this. This guy is now on this
of the "dishonorable mentions" members of congress list. He is one of the dirtiest players in the game.

"Rep. Joe Barton bought an interest in natural gas wells, and has gone to great lengths to conceal the true origins of this investment, violating federal law and House rules in the process.

Rep.Barton is a fourteen-term member of Congress, representing Texas’ 6th congressional district. He is a member and chairman emeritus of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce."
http://www.crewsmostcorrupt.org/mostcorrupt/entry/joe-barton

"Barton made a national spectacle of himself when, as ranking Republican on Energy Commerce, he apologized to BP after they agreed to pay for the cost of the oil spill."

"Barton has gotten bigger bribes from Big Oil than any member of the House-- ever-- $1,480,630. The only members of Congress who have gotten more from Big Oil directly are four especially corrupt senators: John McCain, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Phil Gramm and John Cornyn. And that has been the source of power for Barton. He represents a comfortably gerrymandered district and has no need to actively campaign for reelection. A dead pig in a red t-shirt would beat any Democrat in Texas' 6th congressional district. This year Barton took 107,104 votes (66%) to 50,683 (31%) for his Democratic opponent, In 2008 he won 62% and in 2006 he won 61%. Democrats rarely win a third of the vote there. Instead he uses the vast sums of money he scoops up from grateful corporate supporters-- $2,121,169 this year, for example-- to buy power inside the caucus. Since 1989 he's taken in $17,696,568, his biggest contributors being Anadarko Petroleum, Lockheed martin, RRI Energy, AT&T, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. and the National Association of Realtors. Other big donors include Exxon Mobil, Comcast and Valero Oil."

Hard to imagine this guy would have a problem with alternative energy.

The problem with "alternative energy" is that it is not economically viable without government support (i.e., taxpayers footing the bill). No sign that it ever will be, either. No further discussion necessary.

Fair enough, however it does not justify the attack on DOE. If someone contributed money from the Keebler elves to Barton we would soon hear about how oil is not economically viable without government support and only cookies will solve all our energy problems.

Dr. Chu is scheduled for his Congressional "inquisition" on this matter in mid-November in Washington DC. You can expect it to be broadcast by C-SPAN. Should be interesting.

Can you let scooby know the date Chu appears in front congress so he/she can publish it?
