$7,500 hundred from Barack, and 6,000 from Hickenlooper..... $13,500 of taxpayer dollars to subsidize the individual purchase of electric cars..... in Colorado.

 

I was shocked when I heard this on the radio the other day. shocked. The Government for all intents and purposes purchasing vehicles Americans... I wonder if they are backing interest free financing?

 

wow- talk aboout Governments lust for control with the tax code...

On top of that the Feds are thinking of raising the $7500 credit to $10,000. So limit drilling for oil on Federal lands and offshore that has a long term affect on gasoline prices, and then take our tax money to subsidize what they want us to drive?

I understand the contention of use of land for drilling on lands and in the waters, their are proponents and opponents, and in democracies we fight about things like that....

 

But direct money for purcashing products? 10K? Come on, its ridicuous. If anything, they cost of gasoline will natually create markets for the new vehicles wihtout gifts from the Government.

 

Its almost as bad a cash for clunkers.

They are actually "coal burning vehicles". Mine Baby Mine.

 

Thats why I find the who shirade a zero sum game.

 

If this country had a strong push in favor of safe, clean nuclear power generation, THEN perhaps the electric car makes alot of sense..... but burning coal, I can't imagine how that satisfies the environmental activists?

 

Solar Panels and Windwills have not caught up tech wise to offset the usage....

 

And where do the used betteries go? they always say don't throw batteries in the garbage because they are toxic...

 

Doesn't compute

I have an idea...put windmills on top of the electric cars. They can generate their own electricity when they move!

will there be a tax credit for that installation? We can raise all bridges in the US by 15-20 feet.... economy back on fire with new individual power generation and stimulus...

 

It makes sense afterall!
