FLS Energy, a green business VP’d by Buncombe County Commissioner Brownie Newman, accepted $30 million from . . . drum roll please . . . private investors! Now, I’m not saying the angel investors aren’t subsisting on subsidies themselves, nor do I care if they collect money from the Soros Economic Development Fund. I’m happy to see, at least at one level, a business acting like a business instead of a welfare-state-enhancing charity case.
