Solyndra, the Fremont solar company whose bright star imploded, received over $500 million in federal loan guarantees and then went bankrupt two weeks ago.
President Obama held up the company as a poster child for creating green jobs. Now some Republicans are asking if there was favoritism at work in the deal. Department of Energy officials are in the hot seat today. Solyndra officials declined an invitation to appear and instead will testify September 19.
