  Amonix, a solar manufacturing company based in Seal Beach, California, has just shut its doors for the 214,000 square-foot facility in North Las Vegas, Nevada, a year after it opened. Amonix was heavily subsidized by the federal government, with more than $20 million in total in federal tax credits and grants. Amonix was highly praised and extolled by several Republican and Democratic politicians, including Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval (R), and U.S. Representative Shelley Berkley (D-NV), among others.
