Today marks a sordid anniversary -- a year to the day that Solyndra went bankrupt and left American taxpayers to pick up the bill. Now Solyndra is an art show.

THE Government-funded green energy firm Solyndra made national headlines when it imploded last year.

 

And now, a Bay Area artist has turned 1,400 glass tubes originally owned by the company into an art installation at the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden.

The SOL Grotto, a work created by Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello, takes a tiny fraction of the millions of glass tubes Solynda used to manufacture solar energy cells and converts them into shining beacons of light and sonic amplifiers for a nearby waterfall.

Solyndra is the ultimate symbol of President Obama's failed attempts to pick winners and losers in the free market.
By putting friends and donors ahead of taxpayers, this administration revealed just how reckless and out of touch it is.
And yet, the president remains unapologetic -- even hobnobbing at high-dollar campaign fundraisers with two of the scandal's major players.

Don't let Barack Obama and his liberal allies have four more years to put their failed crony capitalism on your tab.
