GOP Report: White House Budget Analysts Were Worried About Solyndra
Concerned about financial risk to taxpayers since 2011, according to the report

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.
