Neither Brightsource nor PetroAlgae are U.S. companies and yet Barack Obama misleads the public for his masters at Goldman Sachs in both cases..
Florida where the Grin brothers of Israel's Petroalgae scam is officially headquartered has,like Nevada, been used by Israeli criminals for years with the U.S. governments’ blessings to run penny stock ‘share-money laundering’ ops and fraud against its own people and sending their dollars to offshore accounts of Israeli and other colluding criminals with Washington D.C. connections.
Below is a little about the recent Goldman Sachs collusion with the notorious Israeli stock and money laundering criminals the Grin brothers’ PetroAlgae fraud.The Grins are in turn connected to Austrian Jewish billionaire Martin Schlaff who is part of the racist Israeli Finance Minister Avigdor Liebermann’s crime family.
This is the thanks Americans get for the bailout
or stock collapse fraud of Goldman Sachs in 2008.It would appear that Goldman Sachs works with Israeli criminals still to steal and launder money on U.S.stock exchanges including the penny stock market or ‘shorting’ Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac while the SEC of Bloody Mary Schapiro and ex SEC Chair Chris Naked Shorts Cox use the sec.gov site to purposely, fraudulently and criminally lie that those shares were ‘naked shorted’ instead – no doubt by Overstock.con CEO Patrick Byrne’s ‘Sith Lord’ !:

NEW YORK – No customer is too tiny for Goldman Sachs Organisation Inc (GS.N) these days, even a association with no income that’s owned by a sidestep account specializing in penny stocks.
In a pierce which astounded a little observers, Goldman progressing this month emerged as the co-lead physical education instructor on an primary open charity for PetroAlgae (PALG.OB), a development-stage association which is perplexing to emanate oil from algae.
Florida-based PetroAlgae, which skeleton to lift up to $200 million in the offering, has mislaid $58 million over the past 3 years.
The renewable appetite record it is perplexing to rise is innovative, and pick start-ups are perplexing to gain on it as well. But PetroAlgae is by no equates to a personality in the field. And distinct one of its rivals, it doesn’t have dollars issuing its way from Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N), which is awaiting to siphon $600 million in to the rising industry.
Rather, PetroAlgae’s categorical devotee is an $800 million New York sidestep fund, Laurus Capital Management, run by brothers Eugene and David Grin, who are most appropriate great known for investing in in isolation placements of cash-strapped micro-cap companies.
The IPO could assistance the brothers and their investors to monetize one of their funds’ 94 percent equity interest in PetroAlgae…..

Barbara Boxer, senator from California is a strong supporter of Israel and is the one who won this contract from Dept of Energy.
BrightSource Industries (Israel) Ltd. ("BSII"), formerly known as Luz II Ltd., headquartered in Jerusalem, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BrightSource Energy.
Jobs listed under website (http://www.brightsourceenergy.com/careers/) are ALL in Israel as if you can't find programmers in the bayarea when unemployment is 10%? Only job they are going to give is in low wage construction while high end R&D occurs in Israel.
This Israeli shell company lists ALL Israeli executive team: http://www.brightsourceenergy.com/bsii/team/....NOT ONE American, Asian, Black.....ALL Israeli dual citizens. Good luck getting promoted if you don't belong...
The truth is that this Israeli company gets US taxpayer money while they create good jobs in Israel, channel profits there, make money off of US land and give only temp contruction jobs in the middle of the desert.

Since there is 3 times the solar energy in AZ than PA it seems more stimulus money should be going to sunny states. I am in PA now and cannot believe all the huge solar panels that are going up here. I read that the payback is shorter in PA than AZ and find that hard to believe unless PA is much more subsidized. We winter in AZ and are amazed at the lack of solar there.How can I find out how many million is given to PA solar versus AZ solar?

Before LBJ was fooled into starting the Nam war, the US gave a tax credit to people like myself who bought shares in alternate energy companies. I invested in three solar panel companies. Then came the war and the subsidy ended. Investors sold out and the companies failed. I lost $6000 on the investments, but I saw it as an ethical investment. Many comments here are good, like mandating solar on all new and all public structures. Holland has a lot of enormous windmills offshore and I think we will have some here. The future looks good. There is a wonderful side effect. If people are working at jobs to create clean power, there won't be so many seeking work in war-connected "defense plants."

Build it where the power is needed. Should be intergrated into the roof tops of all buildings. The infrastructure is there already. Just add solar panels, solar intergrated shingles/tiles, etc.. No long, costly, and dangerous cable runs.

To whom can I lease my 105.6 acres of raw land in Troy, North Carolina (27371)for the purpose of developing solar power? HS

I hope the naysayers, snarky individuals, and unsatisfiable environmentalists can come to the realization that solar is free and clean energy. The costs are construction front end, and the rest is clean and nil impact. When the sites are simply marginal lands, there should be a realization that use of a small portion of the space we have is simply put to better use for all the world. There is always something to criticize, but keep this in perspective. Energy is not created, just transformed, and in the case of solar steam, it is truly proven and an effective tool for reducing co, co2, and all the other toxic emissions put into the air we all breathe with coal and other fossil energy sources. This is the best bet going. SIMPLY compare it to all the other alternatives. Time to get with it.
