sun tech is trying to do to us what henry ford did to daimler and benz. and china has learned from the united states how government can support critical emerging industries. last year, china offered roughly $30 billion to government financing to solar countries and 7 billion to sun tech. at least 10 countries have adopted renewal scombrabl standards and 50 countries around the world offer some type of public financing for clean energy projects. for example, germany and canada operate government lending programs and in the last several months the u.k., australia and india have announced plans to do the same. since his first day in office, president obama has been working to strengthen the u.s. competitiveness in clean energy. the energy department has stimulated the energy chain by helping r & d, tax incentives like the i believe so 1603 program which is supported nearly 20,000 renewable energy projects and loan programs to finance innovative manufacturing and deployment of renewable energy. while we made progress, united states is at the crossroads. many

. >> it is not one, but it is sun tech and another half a billion outstanding, and tessler motors and it goes on and on and on in the process of failing or already failed. why did the department of energy get to risk our money? >> those are loan guarantees on new industries that are extremely important to this nation. we have to have energy independence and part of that energy independence is going to be the clean energy sector. >> why not let the private sector do it why does the private sector have to foot the bill? >> well, the success of the american economy over the last century, actually, going all the way back to the going of this country, has been a partnership between the governments, either local, state, or federal government and the private sector working together and part of that program at least not last 60 or 70 years, has been loan guarantees everything from farmers to energy and on and on and on and the nuclear industry is another example. some of these don't work out. >> but we are $14 trillion in the whole and even after solyndra was failed this was an attempt to giv

they put together of the sun tech. benefit during of the world. the airport the waste from the united states because electricity requires them to find to cost much less in the u.s.. they had all the high-technology in china in a highly automated factory. sundeck is not only the low-cost leader of the time i visited, but they held the record for the highest efficiency in the solar cells in the world. suntech is trying to do to us what henry ford did. another secret of the suntech success, the child like many countries, have learned from the united states have the public can support critical emerging industries. last year china offered roughly 30 billion in the government financing to the solar companies including 7 billion. the least ten countries have adopted a renewable and more than 50 countries around the world for some type of the public financing. ferc symbol, germany and canada operate by clean energy learning programs and the last several months to the u.k. kuhl australia and they now have plans to do the same. since i can use the first day

you think of the acquisition and what do you think oracle's done with a lot of great tech followgy you produced at sun? >> i'm glad it made it. there was 100% overlap and i was worried every employee would get, you know, 86'd out of there. whereas oracle they didn't have a chip business and hardware businesses and products and services that they had. so there was a better chance for the employees to maintain their careers. >> but because of that there was a lot of speculation when the acquisition happened that they would dump the hardware business, right? did you expect they would go into it in a big way because apparently it's bun done. >> aaron doesn't check in with me. >> that was one of my questions. >> no. he's quite capable. it makes actual sense. i don't think it makes sense to separate the hardware from the software. you don't buy the car and then buy the hardware. you don't buy the phone and buy the operating system separately or even the database for your phone. it makes sense to have it all integrated. >>> later in the show we'll talk a lot about apple and larry ellison compared to what the

(laughter) but deutsche bank, not greenpeace, deutsche bank did a study... >> jon: (laughs) >> saying that even if you account for the subsidies the german government and the german people paid to get that solar panel, they still netted 300,000 jobs. so we're four times as big and twice as capable. so you do the math. it's 2.5 million jobs if we did what they did. we have got to be exeative in these areas. and i don't mind giving people tax credits but it ought to be generate jobs and opportunity in america. >> jon: there's got to be caveats. i agree.
