thats nonsense! any investment made whether if its in the private sector of thru the govenment is made with the objective of making money.
they were not charitable donations Obama made for cleaner energy???. they were failed investments. just because those companies invested in are aimed at clean energy doesnt mean they invested in those companies without the goal of making a profit.
clean energy just happned to be what they were investing in. the private sector invests in clean energy all the time for profit. the government is no different. they just happened to be poor investments.
