"This is the future . . ."

POTUS Barack H. Obama declared that Orion Energy Systems provides a shining example of how we will 'win the future'.


In reality, if we follow the pattern of Orion Energy Systems, we will 'win the future' with massive government subsidies and mandates. In 2010, Orion Energy Systems lost $4.2 million dollars and from 2007 has seen its stock fall from $18.82 a share to $3.34 at the end of 2010. And this has occurred despite millions of dollars in government grants and subsidies. Further, it has occurred despite the fact that the State of Wisconsin, where Orion is located, has mandated the 10% of all electricity sold in the state come from renewable energy sources by 2015.


God help us. I'm not sure how much more 'hope and change' we can handle.
