WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- With billions of dollars of taxpayer money on the line, the U.S. Department of Energy shouldn't rush out with more clean energy loans, a critic said.
Republican critics of U.S. President Barack Obama's green energy initiatives have drawn a bead on Energy Department loan guarantees to companies working on alternative energy projects. The department recently moved ahead with $1 billion in loan guarantees to two solar energy projects.
