With the media buzzing about the Solyndra “scandal,”
. . . House Republicans launched a campaign
. . . to cut and claw back federal funding and
. . . financial assistance for clean energy.
Caught up in the furor,

. . . that it would not be able to process the application in time
. . . to meet a stipulated program deadline.

. . . in just the last year.
But that was before the Occupy movement.
. . . With this swift assistance to SolarCity
. . . in providing the needed capital for it to invest
. . . in the $1 billion (Solar Project.)
