Attached below is part of an article from Wikipedia.org on Solyndra. Taxpayers lost their ass on Democratic sweetheart Solyndra. The US Government did not recoup their losses from Solyndra in interest FROM SOLYNDRA in the five years since they recieved Government assistance and went bankrupt. The article you cited mis-allocated funds that were from all the bailouts the Government funded and applied it improperly to Solyndra.
Government supportEdit
Solyndra received a $535 million U.S. Energy Department loan guarantee, the first recipient of a loan guarantee under President
Barack Obama's economic stimulus program, the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
[16] While the overall loan program was in the black in 2014, it took a $528 million loss from Solyndra.
[17][18] Additionally, Solyndra received a $25.1 million tax break from California's Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority.
[19] Solyndra
was not a unique case for the U.S. Department of Energy.

Following the bankruptcy, the government was expected to recoup $27 million under the Solyndra restructuring plan, or up to 100% of loaned funds from a $1.5 billion lawsuit filed against Chinese solar-panel makers for alleged price fixing.
[2] The outcomes of the lawsuits were that, in November 2015, Yingli Green Energy Holding Co Ltd. settled a claim filed by Solyndra for $7.5 million, and in April 2016 Trina Solar Ltd. settled a claim filed by Solyndra for $45 million. In June 2016 a Stipulation Of Dismissal was filed jointly between Solyndra and Suntech Power Holdings Co Ltd. and later signed by Hon. Saundra B. Armstrong on November 30, 2017 .

I see Trump is not the only one who files lawsuits. Too bad we didn't get the 1.5 billion that was being sought.
