The Department of Energy funded many types of energy programs to Obama donors that failed, appear likely to fail, and embrassed Obama in recent Main Stream News. Secretary Steven Chu often made final decisions with Obama and/or Obama's staff and/or Obama's fund raisers and campaign donor 'bundlers'.
So why has Chu not been fired as a sacrifice to those seeking to embrass Obama?
These kind of firings routinely happen in politics.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Top officials at the White House circulated a plan calling for the ouster of Energy Secretary Steven Chu and other top Energy Department officials as the administration braced for a political storm brewing over the failing solar energy company Solyndra.
An email from a clean-energy activist and former official in President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign said Chu, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, was a brilliant man but “not perfect” for other critical DOE missions, including creating jobs. The email from Dan Carol, was circulated by then-Chief of Staff Peter Rouse and seen by more than a dozen senior White House officials.
The emails were released Friday by the White House in response to a subpoena by House Republicans.
A White House spokesman says the plan was not taken very seriously.
