None of the companies you listed were part of the same Energy Department Program as Solyndra. Most of them were started in the Bush administration and Solar Trust was started as early as in 1996. These were Bush administration failures. It seems not only does President Obama have to take blame for his administration he has to answer for the eight year failures of the George Bush administration and some failures of the Bill Clinton administrations REAL HOPE AND CHANGE

The rest are doing fine. Unlike Mitt the venture capital that went into Solyndra was there to make a viable company, not to strip assets and lay off workers. It failed; they priced their product too low. Any true venture capitalist will tell you sometimes you win sometimes you lose. True venture capitalists (unlike Mitt at Bain) look at a startup business, decide if it has a chance to succeed then invest hoping to make a profit on their investment. That's what the energy department did. If the company fails they lose their money, it's as simple as that They don't go in strip assets, lay off workers then sell the company to the highest bidder just to line their pockets. The problem with Mitt is he's never grown up. He's had everything handed to him because of the money he inherited. He thinks he can buy anything including this election. A 96 percent success rate is excellent, something Mitt at Bain can't come close to. REAL HOPE AND CHANGE
