Evergreen Solar Files for Bankruptcy

Greg Turner And Jerry Kronenberg at The Boston Herald:

Evergreen Solar Inc., the Massachusetts clean-energy company that received millions in state subsidies from the Patrick administration for an ill-fated Bay State factory, has filed for bankruptcy, listing $485.6 million in debt.

I’m glad I don’t pay taxes in Massachusetts, though I’m pretty sure this company received Federal funding as well. How many “green” energy companies need to go out of business before we all accept that alternative energy isn’t viable? Show me a single alternative energy company that is making money (collecting a subsidy from the government doesn’t count). Is there just one?
