      “Johnson Controls ($299 million)”

      To be fair, JC itself is doing fine, it’s just this one project that is not doing so hot.

      I’d be interested in seeing a list of faltering or bankrupt green-energy companies along with a list (if any) of those that are doing fine.

      Mind you, I’m not in favor of eco-freaks (for the simple reason that they are trying to interfere with natural selection – AKA evolution) but there have been a FEW good ideas out of the green community.
