Evergreen Solar, the company given $50 million by the Commonwealth of Massachusets to build a factory in Devens, MA, filed for bankruptcy on Monday.  The company's failure has given the politicians who backed it a black eye.  The bankruptcy is blamed on the decreasing prices for the manufacture of the current generation of solar cells, a crowded manufacturing field, and failure by Evergreen to adjust to changing market conditions.  It's a shame that the company's management failed to properly run the business - it would be nice to have a solar-manufacturing powerhouse in our back yard.

I am still waiting for Verizon to give back the money they got from government to build the FiOS network up here in NH...that they never built and eventually walked away from.
