Fixing the economy and creating clean energy go together. Here is an example from the economic stimulus plan that has given a loan to a solar company in  Freemont California called Solyndra.

  The loan is expected to supply debt financing for about 73% of the costs of constructing a second solar panel fabrication facility. When completed, the facility will have an annual manufacturing capacity of 500MW.  Solyndra estimates that during construction of the facility about 3,000 will be employed, and when completed 1,000 new jobs will be created.
  Solyndra's panels employ cylindrical modules which capture sunlight across a 360 degree photovoltaic surface capable of converting direct, diffuse and reflected sunlight into electricity.  For more information about this innovative solar company go to-
