In 2006 (under President George W. Bush), a federal agency, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), realized that the U.S. was likely to have an epidemic of respiratory disease and would need more ventilators, so they awarded a $6 million contract to Newport Medical Instruments, a small company in California, to make 40,000 ventilators for under $3,000 apiece. In 2011, Newport sent 3 prototypes to the Centers for Disease Control. In 2012, Covidien, a $12 billion/year medical device manufacturer, which manufactured more expensive competing ventilators, bought Newport for $100 million. Covidien delayed and in 2014 cancelled the contract.

taxpayers remain on the hook for $737 million in loan guarantees.

“You should probably have more than one or two high-profile failures [in public investments and loan guarantees for renewable energy],” says Yale economics professor Kenneth Gillingham, who studied energy issues as part of President Barack Obama's White House Council of Economic Advisers. “Otherwise, you haven't invested aggressively enough.”
