Why can't this guy get a loan?

The rational from the Bush administration and financial institutions for the gigantic TARP give-a-ways to financial institutions was that they were needed to enable the financial companies to load money to business, to help the economy, and provide jobs.

This guy's story typifies what is wrong with U.S. economic policy on a host of fronts.

Noel Davis wants to make wind turbines in Indiana. He wants to open up a manufacturing plant.

Sounds good right? Manufacturing, green energy, domestic production....

So, why can't this guy get a loan? From Manufacture This:

Noel explains that, in addition to waiting for a loan guarantee from the Department of Energy, he must then get funding from investors. The irony is that, at a time when credit is tight, many investors are putting scarce resources into Chinese projects, not American.
