Solyndra Fancy on Us

It is regrettable that in the scandal coverage of the Obama Administration's forced "selection" of a Green Energy "Winner" funding, the uniqueness of the Solyndra product line is obscured.  From my own college days in the 70's to this very day as I observe the WindMill field along the PA Turnpike heading to Harrisburg for State Committee meetings, I have wondered at the "off-beat" quality of the alternative energy industry.  

I went to the Solyndra website, http://www.solyndra.com/technology-products/ and was impressed with the cylindrical design of the solar units.  Unlike the panels which have been the typical solar collector, the Solyndra collectors look more like flourescent bulbs you see in work-bench lighting and kitchens of the 50's.
