Energy Secretary Steven Chu, renowned physicist, at center of Solyndra policy storm
Today we’re making it quicker, easier and cheaper for Americans to go solar
Fundraising support after conditional commitment: Steven Chu visits Solyndra with press interviews (target by end of March).
I'd like to see it grow. This is R&D. It's in the sweet spot of the United States
Republicans accused Energy Secretary Steven Chu, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, of acting like a venture capitalist, investing in the now-bankrupt maker of solar panels, Solyndra.
The employees recognized today have gone above and beyond the call of duty, demonstrating an exceptional commitment to public service
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney today refused to call for the resignation of Energy Secretary Steven Chu but accused the Obama administration of ‘crony capitalism’ with support for industries linked to Democratic donors
These researchers have made significant contributions to the national, economic, and energy security of the United States ... I congratulate the winners and thank them for their work on behalf of the Department and the Nation.
I admire Steven Chu a great deal, but his knowledge of the Pacific Railway Act unfortunately appears to be about equal to my knowledge of high-energy physics
America's natural-gas resources can generate many new jobs and provide significant environmental benefits ... But we need to ensure we harness these resources safely.
If you build a better solar panel, the world will beat a path to your door.
Through these awards, the Department of Energy is developing the critical technology and knowledge base to responsibly develop this resource, enhance our energy security, and create new clean energy jobs
The stakes are too high to turn our backs on the clean- energy industry
It's extremely unfortunate what happened ... but the bottom fell out of the market; it was totally unexpected.
It's extremely unfortunate what happened
decisions were made by people in the loan program
We should not wave the white flag. We should not say, 'Oops, we may have invented it, but we're going to be out-manufactured.' But we really can and should take back this technology lead
When solar reaches price parity with any other form of new energy — you know it's going to happen — it's going to go viral
The public and private sectors can, and should, work together to make sure clean energy technologies are invented in America, made in America and sold around the world
What happened with Solyndra was truly unfortunate
We are in a fierce global race to capture this market
America faces a simple choice: compete or accept defeat
It's very important we stay in this game
Well, it is extremely unfortunate what has happened with Solyndra ... Was there incompetence? Was there any influence of a political nature? I would have to say no.
