'Super PAC' Buys $6 Million Ad Targeting Obama in Swing States April 26, 2012, 2:14 pm The "super PAC" Americans for Prosperity just went up with a $6.1 million ad buy in swing states that accuses the Obama administration of squandering American taxpayer dollars on green energy projects, asserting that some of the money actually went to foreign entities. The ad is going up in eight states: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio and Virginia. In making the general assertion that "billions of taxpayer dollars spent on green energy went to jobs in foreign countries," the ad cites as evidence $1.2 billion that went "to a solar company that's building a plant in Mexico." In fact, the company involved in the plant, SunPower, said that the $1.2 billion federal loan guarantee was for its solar ranch in California, and that while some of the panels for the ranch will be coming from a plant in Mexico, most were coming from its California operations.
