Which newsgroup is improper for discussion on the direction this entire 
nation is about to take?

How many more of these do you think we can afford under Obama?

First Solar, a solar energy company that received a $1.46 billion loan 
guarantee from the Department of Energy, announced today that it will 
layoff 2,000 workers in the United States and world-wide.

The company will  "indefinitely idle" four production lines in Malaysia 
and shutter a plant in Germany. "These actions, combined with other 
personnel reductions in Europe and the U.S., will reduce First Solar's 
global workforce by approximately 2,000 positions, about 30 percent of 
the total," First Solar announced today.

"After a thorough analysis, it is clear the European market has 
deteriorated to the extent that our operations there are no longer 
economically sustainable, and maintaining those operations is not in the 
best long-term interest of our stakeholders," said Mike Ahearn, Chairman 
and Interim CEO of First Solar, in a statement.

In December, First Solar laid off 100 employees at a Santa Clara , 
Calif., plant. The DOE has committed $1.46 billion to a project in 
Riverside County, California expected to create 15 permanent jobs and 
550 construction jobs.

The Washington Examiner's Tim Carney reported last month that the 
Export-Import Bank also subsidizes First Solar, helping the company "to 
sell solar panels to itself" by having a Canadian solar company "wholly 
owned" by First Solar by its parent company's products
