1. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is implicated in a breaking scandal, pushing for government funding of the Chinese green energy company ENN Mojave Energy LLC, which is apparently represented by his son.

2. Solyndra, the now-bankrupt solar energy company, was able to procure $535 million in government loan guarantees.
