Ok,
So I actually took the time to read through all of your links...

A few received funding Pre-Obama. Then You have those companies, that the funding was requested by a REPUBLICAN to booste jobs in their state. Then You have links that go to nowhere and the best part is you have links that mean nothing. So to label this Obama's Green energy failure, when apparently Its also Bush and other Republican failures shows your on the partisan merry go round again or you didn't read through all of your links. As usual

Oh.... I read them and everything in the OP is factual.

Those are ALL companies that GOT the money AFTER Obama took office with HIS D.O.E. overseeing the gifts.

Yeah..Keep trying to convince those who didn't actually take the time to click on each link. Mascoma for instance recieved a $20 million dollar grant in 2008. Who again was President in 2008? I guess the typical cheering crowd will just co-sign your drivel without reviewing for themselves.

Why must you try and deceive people?

They got $20 Million from where?.....the STATE of MICHIGAN in 2008.

They THEN got the rest ($100 Million) from Obama.....

Quote:
Mascoma Corp., a New Hampshire-based business, was awarded a grant of $20 million from the state of Michigan as part of the Centers of Energy Excellence program in 2008 and amounts totaling up to $100 million from the federal government over the last few years to build a plant in Kinross, a small town in the Upper Peninsula.

You don't read very well, do you?

So maybe JT should adjust the Obama waste to $80 Million. Does that make you feel better blackandproud?

Where did Michigan get the funds? The Green Energy Program originally started during the Previous administration but Managed and expanded under Obama. As I stated most of your links go nowhere, some show the funds were requested and dispersed by a Republican. So when it comes to Green Energy, it is a Bi-Partisan supported program.

Actually....it says that they got $120 Million in total. So Obama is on the hook for $100 Million

What the State of Michigan gave them is irrelevant to this debate completely.

I can read perfectly well, can you? The $20 milliion were dispersed in 2008 pre-Obama. Unless you're aware of something different, Obama did not take office until 2009.
