Soylndra, touted by President Obama to produce green jobs, goes belly up at a cost of $335 MILLION for U.S. taxpayers. Soylndra produced solar panels; eleven hundred California workers will lose their jobs. Soylndra is the third U.S. solar company to go broke in less than a month.
Can taxpayers recoop some of those lost stimulus millions?
How about converting part of the Soylndra property to a drive in theater lot. And show old classic pctures such as Soylent Green.
Instead of solar panels have the plant produce to “soylent green” food rations. For publicity, sell the soylent green food rations at the drive in along with candy and popcorn.
For humanitarian purposes and Obama’s penchant for “leading from the rear” the Obama government can buy and stock pile soylent green food rations for the next humanitarian war akin to Libya. Dropping green wafers from the sky is something any NATO plane can do without high level U.S. intelligence.
Remember the movie Soylent Green? With Obama at the helm of the economy that may be the future Obama seeks for America. Instead of exceptionalism of military, economic and cultural pre-eminence America’s future may be worse off that the most distressed areas of Africa where war and poverty are rampent.

Soylent Green is a 1973 American science fiction film directed by Richard Fleischer. Starring Charlton Heston, the film overlays the police procedural and science fiction genres as it depicts the investigation into the brutal murder of a wealthy businessman in a dystopian future suffering from pollution, overpopulation, depleted resources, poverty, dying oceans and a hot climate due to the greenhouse effect. Much of the population survives on processed food rations, including “soylent green”.
The film, which is loosely based upon the 1966 science fiction novel Make Room! Make Room!, by Harry Harrison, won the Nebula Award for Best Dramatic Presentation and the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film in 1973.
In the year 2022, the population has grown to forty million people in New York City alone. Most housing is dilapidated and overcrowded, and the homeless fill the streets and line the fire escapes and stairways of buildings.
Food as we know it in present times is a rare and expensive commodity. Most of the world’s population survives on processed rations produced by the massive Soylent Corporation, including Soylent Red and Soylent Yellow, which are advertised as “high-energy vegetable concentrates.” The newest product is Soylent Green, a small green wafer which is advertised as being produced from “high-energy plankton.” It is much more nutritious and palatable than the red and yellow varieties, but, like most other food, it is in short supply, which often leads to food riots.
