What do Evergreen Energy, Ener1, and Amonix, Inc. all have in common?

They all received millions in Stimulus-related dollars from the Obama Administration – $5.3 million for Evergreen, $118 million for Ener1 (as well as a ‘good luck’ visit from Vice President Biden) and $5.9 million for Amonix.  Oh, and they all either developed or manufactured “green energy” components – ‘alternative fuel’ products, batteries for electric vehicles, and solar panels, respectively.

And this past week, all three filed for bankruptcy protection.

Boy, can Barry pick ’em, or can Barry pick ’em!
