Summary

No More Solyndras Act - Prohibits the Secretary of Energy (DOE) from issuing any new loan guarantee of an innovative energy project under title XVII (Incentives for Innovative Technologies) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 for any application submitted to DOE after December 31, 2011. Prohibits a loan guarantee for any application pending before that date unless the Secretary of the Treasury reviews the proposed guarantee and makes a written recommendation to the Secretary of Energy (Secretary) on the merits. Requires the Secretary to report to specified congressional committees within 60 days after making any loan guarantee on a pending application. Directs the Secretary to consult with the Secretary of the Treasury regarding any restructuring of the terms and conditions of an innovative energy project loan guarantee, including any deviations from the financial terms of the guarantee. Prohibits the Secretary from subordinating the interests of the U.S. government to any other financing for the project. Declares that any federal official responsible for the issuance of an innovative energy project loan guarantee in a manner that violates the requirements of title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 or of this Act shall be subject to appropriate administrative discipline including, when circumstances warrant, suspension from duty without pay or removal from office.
