GOP Report: White House Budget Analysts Were Worried About Solyndra

Concerned about financial risk to taxpayers since 2011, according to the report

A GOP report shows that White House budget analysts had concerns about the financial risks of the Energy Department's early 2011 restructuring of the federal loan for Solyndra, the solar panel company that collapsed last August, according to a news account.

The Washington Post obtained portions of the House Energy and Commerce Committee's upcoming report on their lengthy probe of the Obama administration's support for Solyndra, which cratered last year after receiving a $535 million Energy Department loan guarantee in 2009.
