AdRepublicans and other critics cite Solyndra as an example of wasteful spending under President Barack Obama's stimulus program, and the loan guarantees have largely dried up in recent years. AdThe program will be overseen by Jigar Shah, a longtime clean-energy entrepreneur who helped pioneer solar power in the U.S. While Republicans are likely to focus on avoiding a repeat of Solyndra, Granholm, a former Michigan governor, said Tesla is a better example. Still, the loan program overall has returned more than $500 million to taxpayers, โ€œpeople paying back their loans with interest,'' Granholm said. โ€œIโ€™m very excited about his leadership and about actually using the DOE loan program again,'' she said.
