Benzinga's Political Round Up, October 31, 2011

Beacon Power BCON, which received a $43 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy, filed for bankruptcy yesterday. This is the second bankruptcy filing for a company that had a government-guaranteed loan, including the much maligned Solyndra. Due to poor market conditions, the Treasury may put off selling more of its 77% stake in AIG AIG when the opportunity next arises.
