- BREAKING – House to vote on the No More Solyndras Act next week—a year after the infamous Solyndra bankruptcy and FBI raid. The Act is a product of our committee's extensive investigation into the DOE's $535 million loan guarantee to Solynd...ra. DOE loan guarantee recipients Solyndra, Beacon Power, and Abound Solar have all filed for bankruptcy - enough is enough. This bill stands up for taxpayers and ends the mismanaged loan guarantee program. 1.usa.gov/OWuT2cSee More
- TODAY marks one year since Solyndra—the Obama administration’s stimulus "success story”—filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. While investors with close ties to the White House cut deals and receive tax breaks, American taxpayers are left footing the bill. Solyndra serves as a stark reminder of the Obama administration’s misguided priorities and failed stimulus economy.
- The Obama administration's war on coal continues. While discussing energy policy yesterday, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar declared, “Under President Obama’s leadership, the United States moves forward with an all-of-the-above energy strate...gy. Oil and gas, nuclear, hydro, biofuels, wind, geothermal, solar, all of it. All of it.” But the source of nearly half of the nation’s electricity, coal, was conspicuously absent from the president’s so-called “all-of-the-above” plan — a disturbing yet reoccurring trend in the Obama administration. http://energycommerce.house.gov/blog/obama-administration%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9Call-above%E2%80%9D-energy-policy-again-omits-coalSee More
- On this date in 2009, Vice President Joe Biden declared during the Solyndra groundbreaking that "These jobs are going to be permanent jobs. These are the jobs of the future." Three years later, Americans are still asking "Where are the jobs?" http://1.usa.gov/Oksxt6
- Today, the committee launched its new website. In announcing, Chairman Fred Upton stated "Our new website is a one-stop shop for both the American public and members of the press to easily access the committee’s business, such as hearings and votes, videos, relevant news articles and analyses on issues within the committee’s jurisdiction. It is our longstanding goal to keep Americans well-informed of our efforts to promote job creation, economic growth, and individual freedom." Check out the site here: http://1.usa.gov/nYnhp

- Americans are paying a high price for President Obama’s failed energy policies. An article in USA Today warns 2012 is likely to be the costliest year ever at the pump, noting that the national average price for gasoline is up 30 cents since...mid-July and is now higher than year-ago levels in 39 states. While the president continues to stand in the way of American energy development, House Republicans continue to fight for real solutions that will increase the supply of affordable energy and ease regulatory burdens that stifle energy production and use. http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/energy/story/2012-08-14/gas-prices-rise/57059104/1See More
